Repair or replace your dryer?

A simple rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new unit and the appliance is near the end of its life, replacement may make more sense.

A dryer typically lasts – and costs $800–$1,500 to replace — so most faults under about $450 are worth fixing. We'll always tell you honestly when a repair isn't worth your money.

Keep your dryer running

Simple habits that prevent the most common the GTA repairs.

  • Clean the lint filter before every load.
  • Have the full vent run (wall to outside) cleared once a year — the top fire-prevention step.
  • Don't overload the drum; it accelerates roller and belt wear.
  • Check the exterior vent flap opens freely and isn't blocked by lint or snow.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my dryer not heating?
The drum turns but the air is cold and clothes stay damp after a full cycle. Most common cause: Blown thermal fuse — usually from a clogged vent overheating. A typical repair is $250–$390, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why won't my dryer drum spin?
The dryer powers on and may hum, but the drum doesn't rotate. Most common cause: Broken drive belt. A typical repair is $260–$400, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my dryer loud or squealing?
A squeal, grind, or rhythmic thump that builds as the drum turns. Most common cause: Worn drum rollers or idler pulley. A typical repair is $260–$380, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my dryer not drying — clothes still damp or it takes two cycles?
The drum turns and the air feels warm, but loads come out damp and need a second cycle to finish. Most common cause: Clogged or crushed exhaust vent run — moist air can't escape, so heat is present but clothes stay damp. A typical repair is $250–$420, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why won't my dryer start or turn on?
You press start and nothing happens — no lights, a hum with no drum motion, or the dryer is completely dead. Most common cause: Open thermal fuse cutting all power to the controls (usually a clogged vent overheated it). A typical repair is $250–$390, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why does my dryer shut off mid-cycle before the clothes are dry?
The dryer starts and runs normally, then quits partway through with the load still damp — often it will restart only after it has sat and cooled for a while. Most common cause: Restricted airflow tripping the cycling/high-limit thermostat or one-shot thermal cutoff — usually a clogged lint filter, packed vent run, or a lint-bound blower wheel letting heat build until the safety opens. A typical repair is $250–$420, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why does my dryer keep tripping the breaker?
The dryer kills the breaker (or blows a fuse) either the instant it starts or a few minutes into the cycle, and won't run again until you reset the panel. Most common cause: Heating element shorted (grounded) to its housing — usually trips a few minutes in once the element heats up and the sagging coil touches the metal. A typical repair is $260–$420, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why does my dryer smell like it's burning?
A hot, burning, rubbery, or sharp electrical odour while the dryer runs — sometimes with a faint haze of smoke. Most common cause: Lint built up on or near the heating element / inside the cabinet, scorching as it heats — the most serious because it can ignite. A typical repair is $260–$420, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Do you charge for the diagnostic?
The diagnostic is a flat $149.95, and it is credited 100% toward your repair — so if you go ahead with the fix, it isn't an extra charge.
How soon can you come out?
Same-day & next-day appointments available across the GTA. Call (647) 490-7878 and we'll give you the next available slot.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Repairs are performed by Anthony, who is Red Seal Certified, 313A Licensed, TSSA Certified, ODP Certified, and the work is backed by $2,000,000+ general liability insurance and a 90-day warranty.
Do you use genuine parts?
Yes — we fit OEM parts and stock the common ones on the van, so most repairs are completed in a single visit.
