Complete Dryer Repair Services

Every Type of Dryer Problem Fixed

We handle all the common dryer problems that Stow homeowners face. Heating element failures are especially common in older dryers—these typically last about 15 years but can fail earlier if vents get clogged with lint buildup.

Drive belt replacements are another frequent repair. When belts wear out or snap, your drum won’t turn even though the motor runs. We stock belts for all major brands and can usually replace them during the same visit.

Thermostat and thermal fuse issues require precise diagnosis since these safety components protect your home from overheating. Our technicians use calibrated testing equipment to verify these parts are functioning correctly and replace them with OEM components when needed. All repairs come with our 90-day labor warranty for your peace of mind.

How much does dryer repair typically cost in Stow, MA?

Most dryer repairs in Stow range from $150 to $400, depending on what needs to be fixed. Heating element replacements typically cost $150-$350, while belt repairs are usually on the lower end of that range. The exact cost depends on your dryer’s make and model, plus which components need replacement. We always provide a written estimate before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. For most quality dryers under 10 years old, repair costs are much less than replacement. We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair makes financial sense or if you’d be better off investing in a new appliance.

Can you fix a dryer that runs but doesn't heat up?

Yes, this is one of the most common problems we fix. When your dryer tumbles but produces no heat, it’s usually a heating element that’s burned out, a faulty thermostat, or a blown thermal fuse. Electric dryers have two separate circuits—one for the motor and one for heating. If only the heating circuit has a problem, the drum will still turn but clothes won’t dry. We can diagnose which component failed and replace it during the same visit. Gas dryers that don’t heat often have igniter problems or gas valve issues. Our technicians are trained on both electric and gas systems, so we can handle whatever type of dryer you have.

What causes a dryer drum to stop spinning completely?

When the drum doesn’t turn at all, it’s almost always a broken drive belt. The belt connects your dryer’s motor to the drum, and when it snaps or stretches too much, the drum stays stationary even though you hear the motor running. Drive belts wear out over time, especially with heavy use. Overloading your dryer or running it with items that have metal buckles can accelerate belt wear. Sometimes the belt just slips off its pulleys and needs to be repositioned. We carry replacement belts for all major dryer brands and can usually complete belt repairs during the initial service call. The repair typically takes less than an hour once we’ve diagnosed the problem.

Do you offer same-day dryer repair service in Stow?

Yes, we provide same-day service when our schedule allows, especially for urgent situations like completely non-functional dryers. Being locally based in Middlesex County means we can respond quickly to service calls throughout Stow. We prioritize refrigeration emergencies first since those involve food safety, but dryer repairs are usually our second priority for same-day scheduling. Most of our service calls are completed within 24-48 hours of your initial call. Emergency appointments may be available depending on technician availability and your location. When you call, let us know if you’re dealing with a completely broken dryer versus one that’s just not working efficiently—that helps us prioritize your repair appropriately.

How do I know if my dryer needs repair or replacement?

If your dryer is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is under half the replacement price, repair usually makes financial sense. For example, a $200 heating element replacement on a 7-year-old dryer is typically worth doing. We consider the dryer’s age, overall condition, and expected lifespan after repair. Sometimes a relatively inexpensive fix can give you several more years of reliable service, while other times the money is better spent toward a new appliance. Since we don’t sell dryers, our recommendations are based purely on what’s best for your situation, not what makes us the most money. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your options so you can make an informed decision.

What warranty do you provide on dryer repairs?

All our dryer repairs come with a 90-day labor warranty, and we honor manufacturer warranties on replacement parts. If the same problem occurs during the warranty period, we’ll return and fix it at no additional charge. The warranty covers our workmanship and ensures the repair will last. We use OEM and high-grade replacement parts that match your dryer’s original specifications, which helps prevent premature failures. This warranty protection gives you confidence that the repair is done right and protects your investment. We stand behind our work because we want you to be completely satisfied with the service you receive from our team.
