No heat, no tumble, burning smell, takes forever. We repair both electric and gas dryers — TSSA G2 licensed for gas, unlike most of the competition.
⚠️ Burning smell from your dryer? Stop using it immediately.
Clogged dryer vents are the #1 cause of home dryer fires in Canada. If you smell burning, unplug/shut off gas and call us for same-day diagnostic and vent inspection.
Roughly half the no-heat calls we run are actually clogged vent ducts — not a dryer problem. Lint builds up downstream of the trap and chokes the airflow until the thermal fuse trips to prevent a fire. We check vent flow first; if it’s restricted, the real fix is duct cleaning, not parts.
When it IS the dryer: thermal fuses, igniters (gas), heating elements (electric), drum bearings, and belts cover roughly 85% of the actual failures we see. Gas dryer work in Ontario legally requires a TSSA G2 license — which we carry. Our van stocks the common parts for Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, and Miele, vented and ventless alike.
Electric: heating element, thermal fuse, or thermistor. Gas: gas valve coils, igniter, or thermal cutoff. Each is diagnosable on a multimeter in under 15 minutes.
Drive belt (most common), drum rollers, idler pulley, or motor. The dryer hums but doesn’t spin = belt. Silent = start switch or motor.
Thermal cutoff tripping. Almost always a venting issue — blocked lint filter, long or kinked duct, or full exterior vent hood. We vent-clean on the same visit.
Lint buildup against a hot element or bearing. This is a fire risk — stop using the dryer and call.
Vent blockage, 90% of the time. Very common in Toronto semi-detached homes with long vent runs. We clean the full duct run and verify airflow with an anemometer.
Drum bearing, drum roller, or glide bearing. Each has a distinct sound pattern — we diagnose by ear, then confirm on teardown.
Igniter glow-wire or gas valve coils. Strictly TSSA G2 territory — we’re licensed, and we carry both parts on the van.
Door switch, start switch, or control board. Simple continuity test isolates it fast.
Overheating — which is a vent issue 90% of the time, or a failed cycling thermostat. We check both.
Every brand has its own error codes for airflow, temperature, sensor, and door faults. We decode against the service manual.
We price every repair case-by-case after we see the unit in person. Here’s exactly how it works.
Tell us the symptom, the make and model, and when you’re free. We’ll lock in a same-day or next-day window.
A licensed tech inspects the appliance in your home, pinpoints the actual fault, and confirms the parts needed. No guesswork over the phone.
You get an exact, all-in repair price before any work begins. If the fix isn’t worth it on an older unit, we’ll tell you straight.
Approve the quote and the $89 diagnostic comes off your final bill. Decide to pass and you only pay the $89 — no obligation either way.
Every appliance, brand, and fault is different. That’s why we quote case-by-case after seeing the unit, not before.
Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, GE, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Bosch, Miele, Speed Queen. We service vented, ventless condensation, and heat-pump dryers.
90% of the time: vent blockage. Start with the lint filter (should be clean every load), then the exterior vent hood. If airflow at the hood is weak, the duct needs professional cleaning — a standard same-day service for us.
Yes. Stop using the dryer, unplug or shut off gas, and call us. Most burning-smell calls are lint buildup against a hot element or bearing — a clearable issue, but not one to ignore.
Roughly equal. Electric heating elements and gas igniters take similar time and parts cost on most models. The bigger difference is licensing: gas dryer work in Ontario legally requires a TSSA G2 licensed tech, which narrows your options — we’re one of the few Toronto shops that can do both.
Every 1–2 years for typical homes. Annually if you have a long vent run (common in semi-detached houses), pets, or use the dryer more than 5 loads a week.
Gas or electric — we handle both. We’ll call within two hours.
