Why is my dryer not drying — clothes still damp or it takes two cycles?
Most common cause on a dryer in Toronto: 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 Toronto come down to a handful of parts — and the majority are worth repairing rather than replacing a 10–13 years appliance. Anthony is a Red Seal certified technician who carries the common dryer parts on the van, so most Toronto jobs are diagnosed and fixed in a single visit.
Not drying (clothes still damp) in Toronto — what is different locally
Toronto's older detached and semi stock — East York, the Danforth, the Beaches, midtown — usually puts the dryer in a basement with a long duct snaking up to a side or rear wall, and the more elbows and crushed foil in that run, the more a load comes out warm but damp. On Flow Sense LG units here we see d80/d90 throw on exactly those long basement runs. In the downtown and waterfront high-rises it's the opposite layout — ventless condenser dryers where the real choke is a packed lint trap or a fouled condenser loop, not an outside vent — and Lake Ontario's moderately hard supply (~121 mg/L) leaves the moisture-sensor bars filmed a little faster, so they can cut auto cycles short until we wipe them down.
