Dryer repair in Richmond Hill, vent included
A dryer that runs but leaves clothes damp, or stops heating entirely, is the most common appliance call we get in Richmond Hill outside of fridges.
The reason dryers fail so predictably here is the housing. Most Richmond Hill homes in Bayview Hill, Rouge Woods, Doncrest, Westbrook and Jefferson are two storeys with the laundry on the second floor or in a basement, which means a long vent run to the outside wall. Those runs fill with lint, the dryer overheats, and the thermal fuse or heating element gives out. That is why we check and clear the vent as part of every dryer repair rather than just swapping the part.
Condo dryers along Yonge Street and Highway 7 are a different case: stacked 24-inch units and ventless condensing dryers that need a technician who knows them. We service both.
What is wrong with my dryer?
- No heat, drum turns. Burnt heating element or blown thermal fuse on electric dryers; failed igniter, flame sensor or gas valve coils on gas dryers. The most common Richmond Hill dryer repair.
- Runs, clothes stay damp. Restricted vent, failed cycling thermostat, or a moisture sensor coated in dryer-sheet residue. Vent first, always.
- Won't start or drum won't turn. Door switch, start switch, broken drive belt, or a seized drum roller or idler pulley.
- Squealing, thumping or grinding. Worn drum rollers, idler pulley or the rear drum bearing. Cheap parts, and worth doing before the belt goes.
- Burning smell. Lint on the heating element or a failing motor. Stop using the dryer and call.
What it costs
Pricing depends on the appliance, the brand, the fault and the part, so we do not publish a price list. Tell us what it is doing and we will tell you what to expect before anyone comes out. Call or email for a quote.
Brands we repair
Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Electrolux, Bosch, Kenmore, Miele and Blomberg. Samsung and LG electric dryers from the last decade, and the original Whirlpool and Kenmore units in the 1990s subdivisions, make up most of what we see in Richmond Hill.
Repair or replace?
The rule of thumb: if the appliance is under about ten years old and the repair is well under the cost of a comparable new one, repair usually wins. On premium built-ins that is true almost regardless of age, because replacement runs into five figures and has to fit existing cabinetry. Sealed-system leaks on freestanding fridges, cracked washer tubs and control boards that are no longer made are the usual exceptions. We tell you which side of that line you are on before any work starts, so you are not throwing money at a lost cause.

Is it worth repairing, or should I replace it?
If the appliance is under about ten years old and the repair is well under the cost of a comparable new unit, repair usually wins. We tell you which side of that line you are on before any work starts.
Why does my dryer keep blowing the thermal fuse?
Because it is overheating, and in Richmond Hill's two-storey homes that almost always means a long vent run packed with lint. Replacing the fuse without clearing the vent just repeats the failure. We do both on the same visit.
Do you repair gas dryers?
Yes. Gas dryer work, igniters, gas valve coils and flame sensors, is done by a licensed technician. Gas dryers are common in the older Mill Pond and Richmond Hill village homes.
