Problem & Solution

A dryer that runs hot and slow is also a fire risk.

Red Rock Appliance Services repairs gas and electric dryers of all brands in Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City. Common dryer repairs such as a heating element, thermal fuse, igniter, belt or rollers cost about $150–$350; motors and control boards run $300–$600. The $75 diagnostic is credited toward the repair.

Dryers are simple machines with a few parts that wear out: the heating element or gas igniter, thermal fuse and thermostats, drum belt, rollers and idler pulley, motor and controls. We carry them on the truck and fix most dryers in one visit.

Restricted airflow is behind a large share of dryer failures. A clogged vent makes the dryer overheat, blows the thermal fuse and doubles drying time. We measure airflow on every dryer call and tell you if the vent needs cleaning.

Dryers we repair:

  • Electric and gas dryers (natural gas and propane conversions)
  • Heat-pump and ventless dryers
  • Stacked units, laundry centers and LG WashTower
  • Steam dryers and smart dryers
  • Speed Queen and heavy-duty residential dryers

We repair every brand of dryer, from Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, GE Profile, Café, Frigidaire, Electrolux, KitchenAid, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, Haier and Hisense to luxury built-ins by Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Viking, Miele, Monogram, Gaggenau, Bosch Benchmark, Fisher & Paykel, JennAir, Dacor, Liebherr, Signature Kitchen Suite, BlueStar and Bertazzoni. No brand is off limits, and we work on units still under a manufacturer warranty only after you have checked with the manufacturer first.

Troubleshooting guide

Common dryer problems and how we fix them

What usually goes wrong with dryers in Las Vegas homes and what you can safely check first.

Dryer runs but doesn't heat

Likely causes

  • Blown thermal fuse (often from a clogged vent)
  • Burned-out heating element (electric)
  • Weak igniter or failed gas valve coils (gas)
  • Failed high-limit or cycling thermostat
  • Tripped half of a 240V breaker (electric)

Try this first

Check both breakers for an electric dryer and make sure the gas valve is on for a gas dryer.

How we fix it

We test the heat circuit, replace the failed component and check the vent so it doesn't fail again.

Clothes take two or three cycles to dry

Likely causes

  • Clogged lint screen or vent duct
  • Crushed transition hose behind the dryer
  • Failed moisture sensor or cycling thermostat
  • Partial heat (one side of the element)

Try this first

Clean the lint screen with a brush and water. Run the dryer and feel the airflow at the outside vent hood.

How we fix it

We measure temperature and airflow, replace the faulty sensor or element and tell you if the vent needs professional cleaning.

Drum doesn't turn

Likely causes

  • Broken drive belt
  • Failed idler pulley
  • Failed drive motor
  • Door switch failure

Try this first

If the motor hums but the drum turns freely by hand, the belt is broken.

How we fix it

We replace the belt, idler and rollers together when they're worn so the drum runs quiet.

Squealing, thumping or grinding noise

Likely causes

  • Worn drum rollers or idler pulley
  • Worn drum glides or felt seal
  • Object caught in the drum seam

Try this first

Check pockets and the drum for coins, buttons or underwire.

How we fix it

We replace worn rollers, idler, glides and seals.

Dryer won't start at all

Likely causes

  • Blown thermal fuse
  • Door switch or start switch failure
  • Control board fault
  • No power at the outlet

Try this first

Check the breaker and make sure the door latches firmly.

How we fix it

We trace the start circuit and replace the failed fuse, switch or board.

Dryer shuts off or gets very hot

Likely causes

  • Restricted vent
  • Failed cycling thermostat
  • Motor overheating
  • Heating element shorted to cabinet

Try this first

Stop using the dryer if the cabinet or clothes are too hot to touch and call us.

How we fix it

We find the cause of overheating, replace the failed part and verify safe exhaust temperatures.

Dryer safety in Las Vegas homes

Lint is highly flammable and long vent runs in two-story Las Vegas homes and condos clog fast. Clean the lint screen after every load, replace foil or plastic transition hoses with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, and have the full vent run cleaned once a year. If you ever smell gas near a gas dryer, leave the house and call Southwest Gas from outside.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about dryer repair in Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City.

How much does dryer repair cost in Las Vegas?

Most dryer repairs cost $150–$350; motors and control boards run $300–$600. The $75 diagnostic is credited toward the repair.

Why is my dryer running but not heating?

The most common causes are a blown thermal fuse, a burned-out heating element on electric dryers, or a weak igniter or gas valve coils on gas dryers. A clogged vent is often what caused the failure.

Do you repair gas dryers?

Yes. We repair gas dryers including igniters, gas valve coils and flame sensors. We don't install new gas lines or hook-ups.

Why does my dryer take so long to dry?

Usually restricted airflow from lint in the vent or a crushed transition hose, or a failed moisture sensor or thermostat.

Do you clean dryer vents?

We check airflow on every dryer call and clear the lint we can reach at the dryer. For long or rooftop vent runs we recommend a dedicated vent-cleaning company.

Can you fix a squeaking dryer?

Yes. Squealing almost always means worn rollers or an idler pulley, which we replace in one visit.

How quickly can you come?

Same-day or next-day appointments are usually available.

What warranty comes with a dryer repair?

Every repair includes a 90-day labor warranty and up to 1-year parts warranty.
