Just this morning I realized my front-loading dryer in Evanston had stopped tumbling mid-cycle—loads of wet clothes piling up fast. A quick call to DTSOL Appliance Repair & HVAC and their tech was at my door within a couple of hours. He pinpointed a worn idler pulley, swapped in a new one on the spot, and ran a full spin-test to confirm smooth operation. From start to finish, it took less than two hours, and now my dryer works like new. Exceptional skill and efficiency—DTSOL earns my highest recommendation!
