Addison dryer repair for 1960s to 1980s homes
Roughly 57 percent of Addison's 12,832 housing units are detached single-family homes, most of them 1960s to 1980s construction, and the dryers in those laundry rooms fail in a few well-worn ways. The commonest is no heat: a heating element or thermal fuse on an electric dryer, an igniter or gas valve coils on a gas one. Next is a machine that will not start, where the door switch has usually failed. Then comes slow drying, which is a lint-blocked vent, and noise, where a squeal is a belt and a thump is a drum bearing or the support rollers. Addison is a short drive from our Glendale Heights shop, so same-day appointments are the usual outcome.
Paying for the repair
A residential diagnostic is $79 and is waived when we do the repair. We quote a fixed price before work starts. We service gas, electric, ventless and compact dryers from all major brands, and every repair is backed by our repair warranty. Hours run Monday to Sunday, 6am to 9pm. Call (312) 600-6540.
Electric dryers on Addison's 1970s three-prong outlets
An Addison laundry room from the 1960s to 1980s came with a three-prong dryer outlet. Dryers sold today ship with a four-prong cord, or with none at all. So the cord has been changed on many dryers in town. When that job was done wrong, the dryer runs but never heats, or the cabinet gives a small shock. We check the cord and outlet first on any no-heat call.
If the cord is fine, the fault is inside. A burned element or a blown fuse on an electric dryer is a quick swap. Gas dryers have their own parts, and we fix those too. Our repair warranty covers the work. Call (312) 600-6540 for a same-day visit.
When your dryer breaks down, it can be a real pain. Not only do you have to deal with wet clothes, but you also have to find a way to get your clothes dry in a hurry. Fortunately, there's no need to worry. We repair all dryer brands and models, and our technicians are licensed, insured, and factory-trained. We understand that a broken dryer is a real inconvenience, which is why we offer same-day service in most cases. If your dryer has been acting up, A+ Appliance Repair and Maintenance can help.

Dryer calls come in four kinds. Squealing, thumping or grinding from a worn drum bearing, roller or belt. A dryer that will not turn on, often a thermal fuse or door switch once the breaker is ruled out. A drum that spins but never heats, which is a heating element, igniter or thermostat. A dryer that heats but takes two cycles to dry, which is almost always airflow: a clogged lint duct or vent. We repair gas, electric, ventless condenser and heat pump, and compact stackable dryers across all major brands. Repairs start from $199, and the $79 diagnostic is waived when we do the repair.
