Call (260) 408-8218What a Repair Visit Looks Like
The technician checks the heating element or gas igniter, thermal fuse, thermostat, belt, rollers, and moisture sensor, then quotes the fix before doing the work. Long dry times are often airflow, not the dryer itself — we check the vent connection too, because a clogged vent is also the leading cause of dryer fires.
Fort Wayne note: from November through March nothing line-dries in Indiana, so dryers here work their hardest exactly when you can least afford to lose one. No-heat calls in winter get priority scheduling.

Dryer Repair FAQs
How much does dryer repair cost in Fort Wayne?
Most dryer repairs in Fort Wayne run $125 to $350 with parts and labor. Heating elements, thermal fuses, and belts are the most common fixes and sit in the middle of that range.
Why is my dryer running but not heating?
On electric dryers it's usually a heating element or thermal fuse; on gas dryers, an igniter or gas valve coil. A blocked vent can also trip the thermal fuse — common in Fort Wayne winters when dryers run hardest.
Do you repair both gas and electric dryers?
Yes, we repair gas and electric dryers from all major brands, including stacked laundry-center units.
Is a squealing dryer dangerous to keep using?
Stop using it. Squealing usually means a worn drum bearing, roller, or idler pulley, and running it can damage the drum or belt and turn a $150 fix into a bigger one. If you smell burning, unplug it and call.
