My dryer takes two or three cycles per load - is it at the end of its life?

In most cases the vent is restricted, not the dryer itself. A kinked hose or a dirty duct run causes this far more often than any internal part failure. We check the vent first and measure the actual exhaust flow before touching the machine.

The thermal fuse keeps blowing - why?

The fuse blew because it was supposed to - it protected the dryer from overheating. Replacing it without finding what caused the heat buildup means the next fuse blows the same way. We find the root cause first.

Do you repair gas dryers too?

Yes, gas dryers are standard work. We test the igniter, the gas valve coils, and the flame sensor together on every gas dryer call, since skipping one of them is the most common reason a second visit gets scheduled.

We are Dryer Repair experts

Half the dryer calls we run turn out to be a vent restriction, not a dryer failure - a kinked flex hose, an outside flap stuck closed, or a long run that has never been cleaned. We check the vent first, then the dryer. When the machine itself is at issue, the heating element, thermal fuse, gas igniter, and cycling thermostat are the usual parts - and we carry them. One-year warranty on parts and labor.

Gas and electric dryers - no heat, loads needing two cycles, a burning smell, or a drum that turns without tumbling clothes properly. We inspect the vent run on every call.

Why you need Dryer Repair

If you notice any of these, it is time to call us at (281) 555-0100:

Dryer runs but produces no heat: On electric dryers, the thermal fuse and the heating element are the first checks. On gas dryers, the igniter and the gas valve coils. We confirm which has failed before ordering.
Clothes take two or three cycles to dry: Usually the vent run. A kinked flex hose behind the dryer, a duct that has never been cleaned, or an outside flap stuck half-closed will extend drying time dramatically.
Burning smell during operation: Lint accumulating inside the drum housing or on the heating element. We pull the dryer, inspect the interior, and clean the vent while we have it out - included on every dryer call.
Drum turns but heat cuts in and out: The cycling thermostat or the high-limit thermostat is cutting power too early. These components have done their job - they just need to be replaced.
Dryer will not start at all: The door switch or the start relay. A door switch that does not register closed blocks the start signal from reaching the motor entirely.

A dryer that has stopped working reliably disrupts the day fast, and a full replacement is almost never the right first step. Steve Slaton Appliance Repair handles in-home dryer repair across Katy, Richmond and the surrounding communities — a technician comes to you, finds the actual problem, and hands you a flat written price before any work begins. You decide whether to go ahead; there is no pressure either way.

Part Replacement, Not Appliance Replacement

Most dryer failures come down to a single component — a sensor, a motor, a control board, a seal. Replacing that one part typically costs a fraction of a new unit, and it gives you back the appliance you already know how to use. We test the machine, confirm the problem, quote it flat, and wait for your approval before we open anything up.

Should You Repair or Replace?

A motor or blower-wheel replacement on a dryer that is also starting to show rust inside the drum is a sign the cabinet itself is near end of life. We account for that before recommending any repair.
