Dryer Repair in Detroit, MI
A dryer that won't heat turns laundry day into a week of damp clothes on the radiator. Motor City's technicians fix electric and gas dryers same-day — replacing the failed element, fuse or igniter and clearing the lint-packed vent that caused it, so you get one-cycle drying back and a safer laundry room.
No heat, no spin, or clothes still damp — we fix the cause.
Most "broken dryer" calls in Metro Detroit come down to one of three things: the dryer won't heat, it won't tumble, or it runs forever without drying. Each points to a different failure, and swapping the wrong part fixes nothing. Our technicians test the heating circuit, the motor and belt, and the airflow path before quoting you a dime.
Crucially, a dryer that overheats or takes multiple cycles is almost always starved of airflow by a lint-clogged vent — the same buildup behind thousands of house fires each year. That's why every Detroit dryer repair we do includes a vent inspection and clear-out, not just a new element bolted onto the old problem.

Sound like your dryer?
Dryer not heating
Tumbles but stays cold — blown element, thermal fuse or thermostat (electric), or igniter and coils (gas). Our #1 dryer repair.
Dryer won't spin
Hums but the drum won't turn — usually a snapped belt, worn idler pulley or failed drive motor. Fast to replace.
Takes too long to dry
Two or three cycles for one load means blocked airflow. We clear the vent and restore proper heat and drying time.
Dryer won't start
Dead when you press start — door switch, thermal fuse, start switch or control board. We find the break in the circuit.
Loud grinding or squealing
Rollers, glides and bearings wear out and get loud. We replace them before they seize the drum entirely.
Overheating / shutting off
Runs hot then stops mid-cycle — a safety cutout tripping on restricted airflow. We fix the vent and the sensor.
We also repair dryers that won't tumble, leave clothes wrinkled or damp, throw sensor error codes, or thump loudly. Stackable, compact and steam dryers included — for the whole Detroit metro.

What Metro Detroit says about our dryer repairs
"Dryer stopped heating and Devon had it fixed in under an hour — then showed me how packed the vent was. Felt like he actually cared about safety, not just the bill."
"Squealing so loud we couldn't stand it. Turned out to be the rollers. Fixed same day, quiet as new, fair price. Would call again."
"Gas dryer wouldn't light. They sent someone licensed for gas, diagnosed the igniter, done. Professional the whole way through."
Answers before you book
Why is my dryer not heating but still running?
A dryer that tumbles but won't heat usually has a blown heating element, a tripped thermal fuse, or a failed thermostat. On gas dryers it's often the igniter or gas valve coils. These are common same-day repairs we complete from truck stock in Detroit.
Why does my dryer take two or three cycles to dry clothes?
Long dry times almost always mean restricted airflow — a clogged lint screen, a blocked vent line, or a weak blower. We clear the full vent path and check the heating system, which usually restores one-cycle drying and removes a real fire risk.
Is a dryer that won't heat a fire hazard?
It can be. Overheating from a packed lint vent is one of the leading causes of home dryer fires. We always inspect and clear the vent as part of a Detroit dryer repair, not just swap the failed part.
Do you repair both gas and electric dryers?
Yes. We repair electric and natural-gas dryers of every major brand, including stackable and compact units, with licensed technicians for gas connections.
How much does dryer repair cost in Detroit?
Most dryer repairs in the Detroit area run $140 to $320 all-in for parts and labor. You get a firm written price after the $89 diagnostic, and the diagnostic is waived when you approve the repair.
