Dryer Repair in Tampa Bay
We repair electric and gas dryers in Tampa Bay. A dryer that runs but doesn't heat usually needs one part, and the technician carries the common ones.
Common dryer problems
Runs but doesn't heat
On electric dryers, a burned-out heating element, thermal fuse or thermostat. On gas dryers, the igniter or the gas valve coils.
Takes two cycles to dry
Almost always a clogged vent. Lint builds up in the duct, the dryer overheats and the safety switch cuts the heat.
Won't start
A blown thermal fuse, a bad door switch or start switch, or a broken drive belt.
Squealing or thumping
Worn drum rollers, idler pulley or drum glides.
Check these before you call
If one of these fixes it, you don't need us.
- Clean the lint screen, then go outside and check that the vent flap opens when the dryer runs.
- Electric dryers use a double breaker. Check that both halves are on.
- If the dryer smells like burning, unplug it and don't run it again until it's checked.
Repair or replace?
Dryers are simple machines and most repairs are worth doing. If the drum or motor is worn out on an old dryer, we'll say so.
Lint buildup is the leading cause of home dryer fires, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Clean the vent duct at least once a year.

Is it safe to keep using a dryer that takes longer than it used to?
Not really. Longer drying almost always means airflow is restricted, and a restricted dryer runs hot. Clean the vent or have it checked.
My gas dryer smells like gas. What should I do?
Turn off the gas valve behind the dryer if you can do it safely, open windows and leave the house if the smell is strong. Call your gas company or 911 from outside. Call us after that, not before.
