Likely causes
When we get a call about a dryer not heating but running, these are the things our technicians check first — roughly in the order of how often each one turns out to be the answer:
- Blown thermal fuse — nearly always caused by a restricted vent, not by the part itself
- Failed heating element on an electric dryer
- Weak igniter, flame sensor, or gas valve coils on a gas dryer
- Cycling or high-limit thermostat out of specification
- One leg of the 240-volt supply lost at the breaker or outlet
How we fix it
We diagnose before we quote. That means testing the actual components involved — motors, switches, sensors, valves, and controls — instead of replacing parts in sequence and billing you for the guesses. Once we know what failed, you get the price before we touch anything.
Most dryer repairs of this kind are completed in a single visit, because the parts that cause them are the parts we stock on the van. If yours needs something ordered, we tell you the real timeline up front.
