Dryer repair · Welland, ON
A large share of dryer calls come down to airflow rather than the machine. Lint packed into the duct makes every load take twice as long, and long before that becomes a laundry problem it is a fire risk. So the tech looks at the vent run on every visit, not as an upsell.
Four groups of faults cover almost every dryer call in Welland, and airflow is behind more of them than most people expect. Two of these you can check tonight before booking anyone.
The most common call we take, and the one people put up with the longest. A dryer works by moving hot air through the clothes and out of the house. Slow that path anywhere and drying time doubles.
The drum turns, the timer counts down, and nothing gets warm. On an electric dryer this is usually one of a small handful of parts, and it is one of the more satisfying repairs because the fix is immediate.
Dryers are mechanically simple, so noises point somewhere specific. If the motor hums but the drum sits still, stop using it, because that is the one that turns into a bigger repair.
Treat a burning smell as urgent. Stop the machine, pull the plug and ring us before running another load, because this is the fault that occasionally becomes a house fire.
Smelling something burning? Unplug it, leave it, and ring us before you run another load. For anything else, describe what it does and we will tell you what it usually means before anyone drives out.
A couple of them you can settle yourself tonight, and we would rather you did than paid us for the trip.

Neighbours who had been running every load twice and finally picked up the phone. Swipe or use the arrows to read more.
Two full cycles for one load of towels, and I had been doing that since about February. He pulled the duct off the back and what came out of it was frightening. Dries in forty minutes now like it used to.
Drum turning, no heat at all. Booked before nine, running again by lunch.
There was a burning smell and I had been ignoring it for a couple of weeks. The person on the phone told me to unplug it and not run another load before they got here. That call probably mattered more than the repair did.
Horrible squealing every time the drum went round. I had convinced myself we were buying a new one. It was a roller and a belt, and the bill was nothing like what I had braced for.
Kept shutting off part way through and starting again later. He found a nest in the outside vent hood, which I would never have thought to look at. Cleared it and checked the whole run while he was here.
Ours sits on top of the washer in a closet and needed lifting down. Two of them came, it went back exactly where it was, and nothing on the wall got scraped.
Leave your number and we ring back to confirm a window. If you would rather just talk to someone now, the phone is answered every day from 7am to 11pm.
Something else broken?
Takes about twenty seconds. We do not pass your details to anyone.

Where the dryer sits changes the job. Older homes around Crowland and Cooks Mills tend to have short runs straight through the wall, while the newer subdivisions in North Welland hide long ducts with two or three bends in them. We have been in enough of both to know what to expect before we arrive.
Also Port Colborne, Fonthill, Pelham, Thorold, Port Robinson and Wainfleet. Outside Welland the schedule is tighter, so ring in the morning for a window that day.
