In detail
The two calls we get most about dryers
What actually causes it, what it costs, and what the job looks like.
Dryer stops in the middle of a cycle
Typically from $280 · 1-2 hours on site
The dryer starts fine, runs for twenty minutes, then shuts off — sometimes with an error code on the display, sometimes silently. That pattern is almost always heat and airflow protection doing its job, not the machine dying.
What causes it
- Overheating from blocked airflow
A thermal cut-out shuts the machine down before it can start a fire. Clear the vent and the symptom goes away — that's why we check the duct before ordering any part.
- Failed thermal fuse or thermostat
Once a cut-out has tripped hard it often needs replacing, not just resetting. Cheap part, and it's the standard follow-up to an airflow problem.
- Moisture sensor reading wrong
On sensor-dry cycles a dirty or failing sensor tells the machine the load is already dry, so it stops early with damp clothes inside.
- Condenser or water level fault (ventless machines)
Bosch, Blomberg and other condenser dryers stop and show a code when the condensate can't drain — clogged condenser, blocked pump, or a bad level sensor.
- Door switch or worn belt
An intermittent door switch stops the cycle at random. A slipping belt lets the drum stall while the motor keeps running.
- Control board
Last on the list, not first. We rule out heat, airflow and sensors before anyone quotes you a board.

Dryer takes two cycles to dry one load
Typically from $280 · 1-2 hours on site
If the drum gets hot but the clothes stay damp, the heat is fine and the air isn't leaving. Three times out of four that's the vent, not the machine — which is a cleaning job, not a repair.
What causes it
- Clogged vent duct
The first thing to check and the most common answer. Lint packs the duct, moist air has nowhere to go, and cycle times double.
- Crushed or disconnected transition hose
The flexible pipe behind the machine gets squashed when the dryer is pushed back against the wall, or falls off entirely inside the cabinet.
- Lint trap housing packed solid
The compartment below the removable screen collects more lint than the duct on plenty of machines, and nobody ever opens it.
- Weak heating element
A partly failed element still warms the drum but not enough to dry a full load in one pass. Measurable on site in minutes.
- Overloading
Worth saying: a drum packed past two-thirds won't tumble properly and nothing will dry it in one cycle. We'll tell you if that's all it is.

Questions
Dryer FAQ
How much does dryer repair cost?
Typical dryer repair runs $200–$320 plus a $100 diagnostic credited to the repair.
Do you service gas and electric dryers?
Both. For gas connections we follow NYC code and pull the proper inspections when required.
Why is my dryer running but not heating?
On electric dryers it's usually the heating element or thermal fuse; on gas dryers, the igniter or gas valve coils. All are same-day fixes once diagnosed — and we check your vent line too, since a blocked vent causes half of these failures.
Is a squeaking dryer safe to keep using?
Short term, usually yes — it's typically worn drum rollers or the idler pulley. But don't ignore it: a seized roller can burn out the motor. And if you smell anything burning, stop the dryer and book a visit right away.
