REPAIR OR REPLACE?
IS YOUR DRYER WORTH REPAIRING?
Dryers are usually very repairable — heating elements, thermal fuses, belts, and rollers are common, affordable fixes. If your dryer is under 10 years old, repair almost always beats replacement. A dryer that takes too long to dry is also often a clogged vent, which we can check — and clearing it improves safety and efficiency.

DRYER CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS
Clean the lint screen every load
A clogged screen is the #1 cause of long dry times and a real fire risk.
Have the vent cleaned yearly
Lint builds up in the duct and vent hood, reducing airflow and safety.
Don't overload
Big loads tumble poorly and take far longer to dry evenly.
Check the outside vent flap
Make sure it opens freely so moist air can escape.
QUESTIONS
