Why dryers run hot and slow here
Houston air is damp for much of the year, so clothes come out of the washer heavy. The dryer then runs longer on every load. Lint slips past the screen and packs into the vent pipe. When air cannot escape, heat builds up inside the cabinet. A thermal fuse then blows. That fuse is a small safety part that shuts the heat off. Long runs also wear out the belt and the drum rollers.
How the repair works
First we measure how much air leaves the vent outside. Then we test the fuse, the thermostat and the heating element or gas valve. We look at the belt, the idler pulley and the drum rollers too. The idler pulley keeps the belt tight. Before any work, you get one firm price. A fuse or belt is almost always worth replacing. An old dryer with a rusted-out drum is a different story.
Dryer vents that are now 15 to 25 years old
Census estimates count 4,096 housing units in the Willowbrook super neighborhood. About 1,447 of them were built between 2000 and 2009. That is the largest group by far. Dryer vents in those homes have now carried lint for two decades or more. Few of them have ever been fully cleaned. Crushed foil hose behind the dryer is another common find. We check the whole run on each visit and tell you what we see.
Willowbrook dryer calls often start with towels that need a second cycle. The power or gas bill rises, and the laundry room gets hot. Some people notice a faint burning smell. Others give up and line dry in a humid garage. We restore the airflow, replace the failed part and test a full load.
We repair gas and electric dryers from all major brands. No heat, long dry times, loud drums and dryers that will not start are the usual calls. Same-day visits are often open, so a pile of wet laundry does not have to wait. We are licensed and insured for every repair we take on.
