Common questions

My dryer runs but doesn't heat. Is that a big repair?

On electric dryers it's most often a heating element, thermal fuse or thermostat. On gas dryers it's commonly an igniter or gas valve coil. These are routine repairs for a local technician, but a blocked vent can cause the same symptom, so mention when the vent was last cleaned.

Does the technician clean the dryer vent too?

Some appliance repair companies do, some refer it out. Ask when you call — a restricted vent is a common cause of long dry times and shut-offs in East Valley homes with long garage-to-roof vent runs.

Can they work on a stacked washer-dryer unit?

Yes. Tell the company it's a stacked or all-in-one unit when you call so they bring what's needed to access it.
