Roper Dryer Repair in Rock Hill, SC

In older Rock Hill houses, the dryer vent often drops through the floor and runs across the crawl space before it reaches the outside. Those runs sag, collect lint and sometimes come apart at a joint, which dumps warm, damp air under the house. A dryer that takes two cycles or feels unusually hot on the outside is often telling you about the vent.

Rentals add their own wear. Lint screens that never get cleaned, overloaded drums and items left in pockets lead to worn drum rollers, broken belts and blown thermal fuses. Before calling, clean the lint screen, check the vent hood outside for a strong airflow and listen for thumping or squealing when the drum turns.

The technician tests the heating element or gas igniter and valve coils, the thermal fuse and thermostats, the drum support parts and the moisture sensor. On a newer dryer we read its fault information as well. If you smell gas around a gas dryer, leave the home and call the gas utility or 911. You get the cause and the price before work, and repairs carry a 90-day parts and 30-day labor warranty.
