A dryer that’s working properly is a big time saver. Sure, you can hang dry your clothes if you have 12 hours and a lot of extra space, but most of us are accustomed to the efficiency and convenience of our dryer. They’re usually taken for granted until they stop working and home chore efficiency comes to a halt.
A new dryer can cost $400 to $700 depending on the model. The good news is if your dryer stops working it doesn’t mean you need to spend hundreds of dollars on a new one.

When Do You Need Dryer Repair Service?
There are a variety of common dryer issues that can warrant a service call and repair for your dryer. Here’s a list of some of the most common reasons you might need a dryer repair:
- Dryer Won’t Turn On – This could be related to power, the terminal block, door switch, thermostat, start switch, or thermal fuse.
- Noisy Dryer – Wearing parts often begin to make noise as they degrade. Glides, blower wheels, drum support roller, and the dryer belt could all be possible culprits.
- Dryer Doesn’t Tumble – The most likely reason your dryer isn’t tumbling is a defective belt. A seized motor can also be the issue.
- No Heat – A tumbling dryer that’s not producing heat could be related to a malfunctioning thermal fuse, heating element, thermostat, or temp switch.
