Gas and electric dryer repair by certified technicians. Same-day service, 3-month warranty on every job.
What Is Professional Dryer Repair?
Professional dryer repair is the process of diagnosing and fixing mechanical, electrical, or gas-related issues that prevent your dryer from operating correctly. At Appliance Repair Expert, our factory-trained technicians work on both gas and electric dryers from every major manufacturer, restoring full performance in a single visit whenever possible.
Gas dryers use a burner assembly with an igniter and gas valve coils to generate heat, while electric dryers rely on a heating element and thermal components. Each type has its own failure patterns, and the repair approach differs significantly. Our technicians carry diagnostic tools for both fuel types and can identify the root cause within minutes of arrival.
Whether your dryer refuses to start, runs but produces no heat, or shuts off mid-cycle, a professional repair is almost always more cost-effective than replacement. The average dryer has a lifespan of 10-13 years, and most issues that arise during that window can be resolved with a targeted part replacement and recalibration.
Common Dryer Problems We Fix

Blown thermal fuse, failed heating element, or faulty gas igniter preventing heat production.

Takes Too Long to Dry
Clogged vent duct, restricted lint screen, or failing moisture sensor extending cycle times dramatically.

How Much Does Dryer Repair Cost?
Most dryer repairs in the Roseville and Sacramento area cost between $100 and $400, depending on the part and complexity of the job. A blown thermal fuse or worn belt replacement typically falls on the lower end, while a heating element swap, control board replacement, or gas valve repair lands at the higher end.
Our pricing includes the service call, diagnosis, parts, labor, and a 3-month warranty. We provide a firm quote after diagnosis so you know the total cost before we begin. There are no hidden charges for evenings, weekends, or specific brand expertise.
Cost comparison: A new dryer costs $500-$1,200+ installed. Repairing your current dryer at $100-$400 saves 60-90% compared to replacement and extends the appliance's useful life by several years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I repair or replace my dryer?
If your dryer is less than 8-10 years old and the repair cost is under half the price of a new unit, repair is almost always the better value. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment and never push for unnecessary replacement.
Is it safe to repair a gas dryer myself?
We strongly advise against DIY gas dryer repairs. Improper handling of gas connections can cause leaks, carbon monoxide exposure, or fire. Gas dryer work should only be performed by a licensed technician who can test for leaks and verify safe operation.
How often should dryer vents be cleaned?
The U.S. Fire Administration recommends cleaning dryer vents at least once per year. Clogged vents are the leading cause of dryer fires and also force the appliance to work harder, increasing energy bills and wear on components.
Why does my dryer take two cycles to dry clothes?
Extended drying times usually point to restricted airflow from a clogged lint trap, blocked vent duct, or a failing heating element. Less commonly, a malfunctioning moisture sensor or worn drum seals can cause the issue. A diagnostic visit can pinpoint the exact cause.
Do you carry dryer parts on your truck?
Yes. Our service vans are stocked with the most common dryer parts including heating elements, thermostats, thermal fuses, belts, rollers, and igniters. Most repairs are completed in a single visit without a return trip.
How long does a typical dryer repair take?
Most dryer repairs take between 45 minutes and 90 minutes once the technician arrives. Simple fixes like a blown thermal fuse can be done in under 30 minutes. More involved repairs such as a drum bearing or motor replacement may take closer to two hours.
What brands of dryers do you repair?
We service all major dryer brands including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Bosch, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Amana, Speed Queen, and high-end brands like Viking, Sub-Zero, Miele, and Thermador.
