Common Dryer Problems We Fix
Our technicians repair dryers every day. Here's what we see most often in Orlando homes:
Dryer Not Heating
Clothes coming out damp after a full cycle? This usually points to a failed heating element, blown thermal fuse, or faulty igniter (in gas dryers). We identify the culprit and replace only what's needed.
Dryer Won't Start
You press the button and nothing happens. Could be the door switch, start switch, thermal fuse, or a wiring issue. We trace the problem to its source and get your dryer running again.
Takes Forever to Dry
Running two or three cycles to dry one load? This wastes energy and money. The cause is often restricted airflow from a clogged vent, worn drum seals, or failing heating components.
Dryer Making Loud Noises
Squealing, grinding, thumping, or rumbling sounds signal worn drum rollers, bad bearings, or a damaged belt. Ignoring these noises leads to bigger (and more expensive) problems.
Drum Not Spinning
Motor runs but the drum stays still? A broken belt is the usual suspect. Sometimes it's worn drum rollers or a seized idler pulley. We'll get that drum turning again.
Dryer Overheating
If your dryer runs extremely hot or shuts off mid-cycle, take it seriously. Overheating can result from blocked vents, failed thermostats, or malfunctioning heating elements. This is a fire hazard that needs immediate attention.
Dryer Stops Mid-Cycle
Thermal fuses trip when dryers overheat. A faulty door latch or control board issue can also cause mid-cycle shutdowns. We diagnose why it's stopping and fix the root cause.
Gas Dryer Won't Ignite
Gas dryers have additional components like igniters, gas valve coils, and flame sensors. When any of these fail, your dryer runs but produces no heat. Our technicians safely diagnose and repair gas dryer ignition systems.
Call Us NowDryer Safety: Why Quick Repairs Matter
A malfunctioning dryer isn't just inconvenient—it can be dangerous.
The U.S. Fire Administration reports that dryers cause an estimated 2,900 home fires each year. The leading cause? Failure to clean lint buildup and maintain the appliance properly.
Warning signs your dryer needs immediate attention:
- Burning smell during operation
- Clothes extremely hot at cycle end
- Dryer exterior feels unusually hot
- Visible lint buildup around the door or vent
- Longer drying times than normal
If you notice any of these, stop using the dryer and call us. We also offer dryer vent cleaning services to keep your dryer operating safely and efficiently.
Dryer Repair for Every Major Brand
Different dryer brands have different weak points. Our technicians know the common failures for each manufacturer and arrive prepared with the right parts.
Samsung Dryer Repair
Samsung dryers commonly develop moisture sensor issues, causing the auto-dry cycle to end too early or run too long. Belt failures and drum roller wear are also frequent. We diagnose Samsung error codes and replace the correct components.
LG Dryer Repair
LG dryers often trigger Flow Sense warnings due to restricted airflow. Other common issues include failed thermistors, worn drum bearings, and motor coupling problems. We troubleshoot LG-specific error codes efficiently.
Whirlpool Dryer Repair
Whirlpool dryers frequently need thermal fuse replacements, heating element repairs, and belt replacements. Their straightforward design makes parts widely available, which keeps repair costs reasonable.
Maytag Dryer Repair
Maytag dryers share many components with Whirlpool. Common issues include failed heating elements, worn drum rollers, and idler pulley problems. These dryers are built to last, and repairs usually make financial sense.
GE Dryer Repair
GE dryers often experience issues with the main control board, drum bearing, and gas valve solenoids (in gas models). Our technicians carry common GE parts on our trucks.
Frigidaire and Electrolux Dryer Repair
Frigidaire and Electrolux dryers commonly have heating element failures and thermostat issues. Drum glide wear can also cause scraping noises. We service both brands regularly.
Other Brands We Service
We also repair Kenmore, Bosch, Speed Queen, Amana, and all other major brands. Front-load, top-load, gas, electric, stackable, or commercial—we've worked on them all.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you repair my dryer?
We offer same-day service when you call early enough. Most repairs are completed in one visit since we stock common parts on our trucks.
How much does dryer repair cost in Orlando?
Costs depend on the specific problem and parts required. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. In most cases, repairing your dryer costs significantly less than replacing it.
Do you repair gas dryers?
Yes. We service both gas and electric dryers. Our technicians are trained in the specific safety protocols and components that gas dryers require.
My dryer runs but doesn't heat. What's wrong?
Common causes include a failed heating element, blown thermal fuse, faulty thermostat, or (in gas dryers) a bad igniter or gas valve solenoid. We'll diagnose the exact cause and fix it.
Is it worth repairing an old dryer?
Often, yes. Dryers are mechanically simpler than many appliances and can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. We'll give you an honest assessment. If replacement makes more sense financially, we'll tell you.
Can a clogged dryer vent cause problems?
Absolutely. Restricted vents cause longer drying times, higher energy bills, overheating, and fire hazards. We recommend cleaning your dryer vent annually. We offer professional vent cleaning in addition to repairs.
Do you service commercial dryers?
Yes. Commercial appliance repair is one of our specialties. We work with laundromats, hotels, apartment complexes, and other businesses throughout Central Florida.
Do you repair other appliances besides dryers?
Yes. We repair all major household appliances including refrigerators, washers, ovens, dishwashers, and more. See our full Orlando appliance repair page for details.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Alpha Appliance Repair is fully licensed and insured. You can trust us in your home or business.
What dryer brands do you repair in Orlando?
We repair all major brands including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Bosch, Speed Queen, and Amana. If you have a different brand, call us—we've likely worked on it.
How long does a typical dryer repair take?
Most dryer repairs take 30-60 minutes once we diagnose the problem. If we have the part on our truck, we usually complete the repair in one visit. Specialty parts may require a follow-up appointment.
Do you offer emergency dryer repair?
We offer same-day service for urgent repairs when you call early in the day. While we don't have 24/7 emergency service, we prioritize calls involving safety concerns like overheating or burning smells.
Tips While Waiting for Dryer Repair
Don't Keep Running a Broken Dryer
If your dryer overheats, makes burning smells, or shows other warning signs, stop using it. Continuing to run a malfunctioning dryer can cause further damage or create safety hazards.
Check the Basics First
Before we arrive, verify that the dryer is plugged in, the circuit breaker hasn't tripped, and the door latches securely. Sometimes simple fixes solve the problem.
Clean the Lint Trap
A clogged lint trap restricts airflow and makes your dryer work harder. Clean it before every load as standard maintenance.
Note Any Error Codes
If your dryer displays an error code, write it down. This information helps our technician diagnose the problem faster.
