Common Dryer Problems

Why is my dryer not heating, clothes won't dry, and more issues we fix every week in San Diego.

Dryer Not Heating

Blown thermal fuse, failed heating element, or bad gas valve coils. If you're asking why is my dryer not heating, we test each component to pinpoint the exact failure. When clothes won't dry and you need to know how to fix dryer not heating issues, we've got the expertise to get it working fast.

Dryer Not Spinning

Worn drum belt, broken idler pulley, or seized motor. If the drum won't turn, clothes sit wet. We carry replacement belts and pulleys on the truck.

Dryer Won't Start

Faulty door switch, blown thermal fuse, or failed start switch. We check the electrical path from the outlet to the motor before recommending any parts.

Takes Too Long to Dry

Clogged exhaust vent, failed moisture sensor, or worn felt seal. San Diego homes with long vent runs are especially prone to lint buildup that chokes airflow.

Loud Squealing or Thumping

Worn drum rollers, flat idler pulley bearing, or damaged glides. Each sound pattern tells us which part is failing — we isolate it on the first visit.

Overheating or Burning Smell

Lint packed around the heating element, restricted vent, or failing thermostat. This is a fire hazard — unplug the dryer and call us immediately.

Shuts Off Mid-Cycle

Overheating safety cutoff, failing motor, or bad control board. The dryer protects itself by shutting down — we find out what's triggering the cutoff.

Gas Dryer Won't Ignite

Failed igniter, worn gas valve solenoids, or faulty flame sensor. Gas components need precise testing — our techs are trained on gas appliance safety protocols.

Drum Not Tumbling Freely

Seized drum bearing, warped drum seal, or foreign object lodged between the drum and housing. We pull the drum to inspect and clear the obstruction.

What's Covered

What you get when we service your dryer.

Dryer repair complexity ranges from a thermal fuse swap to a heat-pump compressor rebuild. Here's what's guaranteed on every dryer service call we run, gas or electric, vented or ventless.

Written dryer quote, signed before any work
After diagnosing your dryer (element resistance, thermal-fuse continuity, vent-line airflow, motor amperage), we send a written quote with parts, labor, and timeline. No work starts until you approve it in writing.
$80 dryer diagnostic, applied to repair
The flat $80 covers a complete dryer diagnostic — element resistance, thermal-fuse continuity, vent-line airflow, motor amperage. Approve the repair and the $80 comes off the total.
OEM dryer parts only
Genuine manufacturer parts via the authorized distributor network — heating elements, thermal fuses, drum belts, blower wheels, moisture sensors. No aftermarket substitutes that void your warranty.
90-day dryer guarantee, parts and labor
If the same heat, drum, or sensor issue returns within 90 days, we come back at no charge — no second diagnostic fee, no parts cost, no questions.
One visit on most jobs
We carry the most common dryer parts on the truck — thermal fuses, drum belts, heating elements — so most repairs finish on the first visit. Special-order parts get a firm timeline.
Full dryer type coverage
We service vented gas, vented electric, ventless heat-pump, stacked, compact 24-inch. Same diagnostic process, same OEM parts, same 90-day guarantee on every type.

Dryer repair pricing depends on the failure mode (element resistance, parts required, and labor scope). That's why we diagnose first and quote in writing — the $80 is your only upfront commitment.

What San Diego homeowners say

Real dryer repairs. Real reviews.

★★★★★

Our Miele T1 heat pump dryer kept throwing an F66 error and shutting off mid-cycle. OPUS sent a tech who pulled the heat exchanger, found it packed with fine lint the filter couldn't catch, and cleaned the entire airflow path. Dryer's been running perfectly for two months now. The $80 diagnostic came off the bill — fair and transparent.

★★★★★

Our Fisher & Paykel dryer stopped mid-cycle and wouldn't restart. Another company couldn't figure it out. OPUS sent a tech who traced it to a failed thermal cutoff and a partially blocked exhaust vent — replaced the cutoff with an OEM part and cleared the vent line. Dryer runs perfectly now. The $80 diagnostic came right off the repair bill.

J
Jason & Maria L.

★★★★★

Our Bosch 800 Series dryer started making a horrible squealing noise every cycle. The OPUS tech identified worn drum support rollers and a flat idler pulley bearing. Had both OEM Bosch parts on the truck, replaced everything in about 40 minutes. Quiet again — and covered under their 90-day guarantee.

FAQ

Dryer repair — common questions.

Why is my dryer not heating, and what's usually wrong?
Nine times out of ten it's the heating element, thermal fuse, or gas valve coils — exactly what OPUS technicians diagnose during dryer repair San Diego. Our approach is straightforward: we test each component individually to determine what can cause your dryer to not heat up. On gas dryers, a failed igniter is another common culprit. Our tech isolates the exact problem so you only replace what's actually broken — not the whole assembly.
How much does dryer repair cost in San Diego?
Every repair starts with an $80 diagnostic. Your tech gives you an itemized quote before any work begins — parts, labor, total. If you approve, the $80 comes off your bill. Most dryer repairs in San Diego run between $200 and $600 depending on the brand and the part.
Do you fix both gas and electric dryers?
Yes — gas and electric, vented and ventless, heat pump and condenser. Gas dryers have extra components like igniters and gas valve solenoids that require specific training. Our techs are certified on both fuel types.
Why is my dryer running but clothes are still damp?
Usually a clogged vent, failed moisture sensor, or worn drum seal letting hot air escape. A blocked vent is the most common cause in San Diego — lint builds up faster in older homes with long vent runs. This issue is especially common with models like Electrolux dryer not drying properly due to vent or sensor issues. We check the vent path and moisture sensor as part of every dryer diagnostic to get your clothes drying again.
Is it worth repairing an older dryer or should I buy new?
Dryers are mechanically simpler than most appliances, so they're almost always worth repairing if the drum and motor are solid. A $350 part swap on a 10-year-old Miele or Bosch dryer beats a $2,000 replacement. Your tech will tell you straight if the numbers don't add up.
My dryer smells like something is burning — should I stop using it?
Yes — unplug it or shut off the gas and call us. A burning smell usually means lint trapped near the heating element or a failing belt about to snap. Running it risks a dryer fire. We treat these as priority calls and can usually get there same day.
What dryer brands do you service?
Miele, Bosch, Electrolux, Fisher & Paykel, and ASKO. Whether it's a Miele T1 heat pump, a Bosch 800 Series condensation dryer, an Electrolux Perfect Steam vented model, a Fisher & Paykel condensing dryer, or an ASKO butterfly-drum unit, the same factory-trained team handles it. These are the high-end brands that currently manufacture residential dryers.
Can you repair a stacked washer-dryer unit?
Absolutely. Stacked units are common in San Diego condos and townhomes. We know how to safely separate and reassemble them without damaging the bracket or the wall. If only the dryer needs work, we can often service it in place.
How long does a typical dryer repair take?
Most dryer repairs wrap up in 45 minutes to an hour once the tech starts. The diagnostic takes about 20 minutes. If we have the OEM part on the truck — and we usually do for common dryer components — you're back to drying clothes the same visit.
What's covered under your 90-day dryer repair guarantee?
Parts and labor on the specific repair we performed. If the same problem returns within 90 days, we come back and fix it at zero cost — no second diagnostic, no parts charge. We also offer extended coverage: 6 months for $99, 12 months from $199.
Do I really need my dryer vent cleaned annually?
Yes — dryer vent buildup is the leading cause of dryer fires and the second-leading cause of premature heating-element failure. Our guide on how to clean a dryer vent walks through the steps homeowners can do themselves — vent disconnect, brush sequence, and how to know when the lint trap alone isn’t enough. Heat-pump dryers from Miele and Bosch have different lint paths, but the principle is the same.
