Dryer Repair San Leandro

The cost-effectiveness of repairing a broken dryer depends on it’s age and what the problem is. That being said, clothes dryers are one of the most affordable appliances to fix. If the cost of a new unit is more than double the cost of fixing your dryer, we recommend choosing the repair option.

If you have experience repairing appliances, some dryer repairs and maintenance procedures can be done DIY. For example, a dryer that takes too long to dry clothes may have a clogged exhaust vent that you can clean out yourself to speed things up. Any malfunction or repair that involves electronic components or gas for gas dryers should always be handled by a professional due to safety concerns. 

When you purchase a brand new clothes dryer, you can expect to get an average of 7-12 years of use from it before replacement. This can vary a lot though depending on how of then you use it, the size of your household, and most importantly, how well you take care of it. Keeping your dryer clean and free of excess lint and debris can help it last a lot longer!

If your dryer is squeaking or squealing during a cycle, the first thing to check is the load size. Adding too many items to a single load puts undue stress on the machine which can lead to squeaks and more serious malfunctions over time. It’s also possible that the dryer drum bearing or motor are defective. These repairs needs to be done by a professional technician.
