Dryer Repair in East Charlotte

Many ranch homes here have the laundry in a room off the carport or a utility space that is not air-conditioned. In late summer that room can be very hot and humid, so the dryer works harder, takes longer and cycles its thermostats more often. Vents usually exit straight through an exterior wall, which is a short path, but the outside hood still clogs with lint and pollen. Daily use wears belts, drum rollers and idler pulleys, which announce themselves with squeals and thumps. Gas dryers, common in parts of 28215, tend to stop heating because of a failed igniter, gas valve coils or a flame sensor.

Clean the lint screen and check the outside flap while the dryer runs. Unplug it before pulling it out, and on a gas dryer, close the appliance shutoff valve without disturbing the line. Never service the gas valve yourself, and if you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911. We test the heating system, fuse and motor and give you the price first.
