Our 7-Step Dryer Repair Process

We follow a systematic approach to diagnose and fix dryer issues safely and efficiently:

1. Safety Assessment & Power Shut-off - First, we check for electrical safety and ensure proper ventilation. If gas dryers, we check for gas leaks.
2. Visual Inspection & Component Testing
   • Remove front panel and inspect belt condition and tension
   • Check drum rollers and bearings for wear or damage
   • Examine motor and drive system for proper operation
   • Test heating elements and thermostats for continuity
3. Diagnostic Testing - We use specialized tools to test motors, heating elements, electronic components, and sensors. For modern dryers, we read error codes and test control boards.
4. Precise Repair & Parts Replacement - Based on diagnosis, we replace faulty components with high-quality parts. Common repairs include belts, motors, heating elements, drum rollers, and control boards.
5. Ventilation & Airflow Testing - After repairs, we test vent airflow, clean lint traps, and ensure proper ventilation to prevent fire hazards.
6. Performance Verification - We run a complete test cycle to verify:
   • Proper drum rotation and tumbling action
   • Heating element operation and temperature control
   • Ventilation and airflow efficiency
   • Control panel and cycle functionality
7. Customer Education & Cleanup - We demonstrate proper operation, explain maintenance tips, and clean the work area. No mess, no stress.
