Dryer Repair in Kansas City, MO
Kansas City Appliance Repair fixes gas and electric dryers the same day in Kansas City, MO; a dryer that runs but does not heat typically costs $150 to $250 to repair, and every visit includes a free vent safety check.
Dryer Repair Problems We Fix
A dryer that runs but blows cold is the single most common appliance call we get in Kansas City, and it is usually one of the cheapest to fix. We carry heating elements, thermal fuses, igniters, and gas valve coils for GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, and Kenmore dryers. Because a blocked vent causes most dryer failures, and is the leading cause of dryer fires, every dryer visit includes a vent inspection at no charge.
Dryer runs but won't heat
Electric: a blown thermal fuse or failed heating element. Gas: a weak igniter or failed gas valve coils. Both are usually under $250 and done in one visit.
Dryer won't start or won't turn
Door switch, thermal fuse, drive belt, or motor. If it hums but does not turn, the belt or idler pulley has failed.
Dryer takes two or three cycles to dry
A blocked vent nine times out of ten. We clean the vent, then confirm airflow. Long vent runs in Northland two-story homes are a frequent culprit.
Dryer is loud — squealing, thumping, grinding
Worn drum rollers, a failed idler pulley, or a glazed drum bearing. Inexpensive parts; we replace them as a set so you are not calling again next month.
Dryer shuts off mid-cycle
Overheating from restricted airflow trips the high-limit thermostat, or the moisture sensor is coated with dryer-sheet residue. We clean and test both.
Burning smell
Stop using the dryer and call. Lint buildup around the element or a seized roller can ignite. We clean out the cabinet and vent and replace the failed part.

Dryer Repair FAQ
How much does dryer repair cost in Kansas City?
Most dryer repairs in Kansas City cost $150 to $250 including parts and labor. Thermal fuses, heating elements, igniters, and belts all fall in that range. A motor replacement runs up to about $375.
Why does my dryer run but not heat?
On an electric dryer it is almost always a blown thermal fuse or a burned-out heating element. On a gas dryer it is usually the igniter or gas valve coils. A blocked vent often caused the part to fail, so we inspect the vent on every heat-related call.
Do you repair gas dryers?
Yes. Our technicians repair both gas and electric dryers, including igniters, flame sensors, and gas valve coils, and we leak-test every gas connection before we leave.
Is it worth repairing a dryer?
Almost always. Dryers are simple machines that last 10 to 13 years, and most repairs are a fraction of replacement cost. The exception is a motor plus control board failure on a unit over 12 years old.
