Why Choose Appliance Yikes for Your Dryer Repair?
Local Expertise: Serving Midlothian, Chesterfield, Amelia, and Powhatan Counties since 2007. I know the common issues that affect dryers in our area, from lint buildup due to our humid Virginia climate to problems caused by longer vent runs in larger Chesterfield County homes.
Honest Diagnosis: I successfully diagnose 90% of dryer problems on the first visit. My straightforward approach means you'll know exactly what's wrong and what it'll cost to fix - no surprises.
Fair Pricing: $127.50 service call covers diagnosis and any new problems within 30 days. Parts and labor are extra, but I'll always give you an upfront estimate. If repair costs exceed $300, I'll usually recommend replacement instead - saving you money in the long run.
Quality Guarantee: Every repair comes with a 30-day warranty on the same issue. If it breaks again, I'll fix it at no charge or provide a full refund.
What to Expect During Your Dryer Repair Visit
My proven 5-step diagnostic process:
Discuss the problem - I'll listen to your concerns and ask about symptoms
Recreate the issue - I'll run your dryer to see the problem firsthand
Check error codes - Modern dryers often display helpful diagnostic codes
Isolate the problem - Using professional tools to pinpoint the exact issue
Replace and verify - Install the correct part and test thoroughly
Most dryer repairs require common parts like heating elements, thermal fuses, or lint blockages. I order parts from Marcone (the industry standard) and typically complete repairs within 3-5 days.
Before You Call - Quick Dryer Troubleshooting
Try these simple checks first:
Clean the lint filter completely (even if it looks clean)
Check that the dryer door closes and latches properly
Ensure the dryer is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped
Verify the exhaust vent outside isn't blocked with lint or debris
Make sure you're not overloading the dryer
When to call immediately:
Burning smell (unplug and call right away)
Dryer is hot to the touch on the outside
Clothes are coming out hotter than normal
You hear grinding, squealing, or thumping noises

Dryer Repair vs. Replacement - Making the Right Choice
Repair makes sense when:
Your dryer is less than 10 years old
Repair costs under $300
It's a quality brand with available parts
You've had minimal previous repairs
Consider replacement if:
Repair estimate exceeds $300
Your dryer is over 10 years old
You've had multiple repairs in the past year
Parts are discontinued or extremely expensive
I'll always give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation.
