The dryer repairs we do most in Kenwood Park
Gas igniters and valve coils
With close to four in five homes on gas heat, many laundry rooms here have a gas dryer. When one tumbles cold, the igniter or the valve coils are the usual fault, and we carry both.
Belts and rollers on second-decade dryers
Mid-age Whirlpool-built dryers from Whirlpool, Maytag and Kenmore are common here. At 10 to 15 years, the belt and rollers are the parts that go.
Moisture sensors ending cycles early
Newer dryers with Auto Dry end the cycle when their sensor strips read dry. Fabric softener film fools them, and loads come out damp. A wipe with rubbing alcohol often fixes it before anyone needs to visit.
Vent and weather notes
Many homes here have the laundry in the basement or a lower level, with a vent running to the back or side of the house. Once a year is the right cleaning interval for most families, every six months with a long run or heavy use.
In winter, check that the outside hood isn’t blocked by drifting snow, especially on the side of the house facing the wind. January lows here average about 10°F.

Our prices are the same across the metro. Most dryer repairs run $75 to $280 for parts and labor, you approve the exact price before we start, and OEM parts and labor carry a 90-day warranty. The dryer repair cost guide lists the price of every part.

Dryer repair in Kenwood Park: questions
Questions we hear from families in Kenwood Park.
Is my 12-year-old Maytag worth fixing?
Usually. A belt, rollers, fuse or igniter costs far less than a new dryer. If the motor or control board fails at that age, we’ll give you the price and an honest opinion on replacing it.
My gas dryer glows but doesn’t light. What is it?
The igniter is working, so the gas valve coils or the flame sensor are the likely fault. Check the gas valve behind the dryer is open, then call us. See gas dryer repair.
How long does it take you to get to Kenwood Park?
About 19 minutes. Calls before noon usually get a same-day visit, Monday to Saturday.
