Fire Safety
Clogged dryer vents cause thousands of home fires every year. A repair is also a safety inspection.
No heat, long dry times, or a dryer that won't start — same-day certified repair for gas and electric dryers across Greater Seattle.

Dryers fail in a handful of familiar ways — most tied to heat, airflow, or a failed safety component. Here's what we fix every week.





Issue 01 of 05
Dryer Not Heating
Spotted your issue?
Clothes tumble but come out wet. The heat side of a dryer is a chain of components — one failure stops the whole thing:
Long dry times are almost always an airflow problem — and the #1 fire hazard in the home. Common causes:
A dead dryer usually points to a tripped breaker, a failed door switch (the drum won't run with the door open), a blown thermal fuse, or a bad start switch — any of which stop the motor circuit cold.
Squealing, thumping, or grinding almost always means worn drum rollers, a failed idler pulley, a stretched belt, or a bad blower wheel. Ignoring it usually turns a $150 repair into a full motor replacement.
A dryer that runs hot then shuts down is protecting itself from a real fire risk — usually a restricted vent, a bad cycling thermostat, or a failed high-limit safety. This one shouldn't wait.
A working dryer isn't just about clean laundry — it's about airflow, energy, and fire safety in your home.
Clogged dryer vents cause thousands of home fires every year. A repair is also a safety inspection.
A restricted vent or weak element can double dry times and quietly spike your utility bill.
An overheating dryer weakens fabric fibers. Proper heat protects your clothes and linens.
A few quick checks rule out the obvious. If the issue persists, we're one call away.
Safety first
Unplug the unit (or shut off gas, for gas dryers) before opening any panel. Never run a dryer with a disconnected or blocked vent — it's a leading cause of house fires.
Confirm the dryer is plugged in and the 240V outlet is live. A dryer can tumble on one leg while heat is dead — check both breakers.
Clean the filter every load and vacuum the housing monthly. A clogged filter starves the burner and trips the thermal fuse.
Disconnect the vent behind the dryer and confirm strong airflow at the outside hood. A crushed or clogged run is the #1 cause of no-heat and long dry times.
Confirm the gas shutoff valve behind the dryer is fully open. If other gas appliances aren't heating either, contact your utility.

A dryer looks simple from the outside, but the heat circuit is a safety-interlocked chain of igniters, coils, thermostats, thermal fuses, and high-limit switches. Replacing the wrong part sends you back to the parts store — and sometimes trips the same fuse the next day.
Our certified techs test each component in the chain, replace only what's failed, and verify the whole heat and airflow path before packing up. Every repair is backed by a warranty on parts and labor.
We also catch what most homeowners miss — a lint-choked venting run, a worn blower wheel, weak drum bearings — and flag them before they become the next breakdown or a fire hazard.
Certified specialists in gas and electric dryers — vented, ventless, condenser, heat-pump, and stackable units from every major brand.
Authorized to service both gas and electric dryers safely and correctly.
Flexible scheduling so laundry piles don't take over the weekend.
Every dryer repair includes an airflow and vent inspection — no extra charge.
Every repair backed in writing — no fine print.
Clear, itemized estimates before any work begins.

Service was scheduled quickly, repairman called with expected arrival time and arrived promptly. Repairs needed were identified and carried out, kitchen was left clean and the refrigerator works! He called the next day to be sure everything was working well. This was an excellent experience throughout.

Dmitro was amazing! He showed promptly when he said he would, explained all my options thoroughly when it came to addressing the obnoxious noises my fridge was making, and had an impressive eye for detail (he managed to empty and then re-place everything in my fridge almost exactly where he had found it! Impressive!) he was kind and easy to work worth.

Great costumer service was able to set up an appointment for a technician to come look at a problem with refrigerator on a next day! Dmitro, the technician, was able to determine an issue with the ice maker in our Bosh 800 series refrigerator. He recommended to replace parts. Ordered them right away and installed on a next visit. It is working perfectly since, making ice again. Thanks! I highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a fast, professional solutions.

I was so impressed with Expert Appliance Repair and especially Dmitro. I have used this company before for some refrigerator maintenance and they were awesome then as well. I think what impresses me most is how quickly they respond. Dmitro was professional, polite and personable. He looked at the problem I was having and ordered the parts to be overnighted. He came back the following day, installed the parts efficiently checking to make sure the parts were in correctly and working properly. The parts and repair were very reasonable. I will always use this company for appliance repair and will share their number with my neighbors and friends.

EAR was prompt in responding to our leaky washing machine. Dmitro came and diagnosed the issue, a leaking drain hose. He helped me in finding the correct part on a reliable website. I ordered the part and he returned to fix it. I was very impressed with Dimitro and EAR's performance, and the way they handled the problem professionally. And the whole job was reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend EAR for your appliance repairs since these guys are experts in what they do.
