Why is my dryer not drying — clothes still damp or it takes two cycles?
Most common cause on a dryer in Brampton: clogged or crushed exhaust vent run — moist air can't escape, so heat is present but clothes stay damp. A typical repair runs $250–$420 all-in, including the $149.95 diagnostic, credited 100% toward your repair. No immediate hazard if you stop double-cycling, but a vent packed enough to stop drying is a lint-fire risk — book promptly. Book at convenience

Most dryer faults in Brampton come down to a handful of parts — and the majority are worth repairing rather than replacing a 10–13 years appliance. Our certified technicians carry the common dryer parts on the van, so most Brampton jobs are diagnosed and fixed in a single visit.
Not drying (clothes still damp) in Brampton — what is different locally
In Brampton's newer subdivisions -- Springdale, Sandalwood, Mount Pleasant, Castlemore -- 'takes two cycles to dry' almost always traces back to the long second-floor or basement vent run rather than a dead heating element. Those multi-elbow ducts through joists and an exterior wall trap lint at every bend and choke airflow. We check the full duct path and exterior flap before condemning any part. Brampton's hard Peel water adds a secondary nudge: mineral-heavy loads can spin out a touch wetter and enter the dryer damper, so they need more time even on a healthy machine.
