A dryer that’s not heating or is taking too long is one of the more common calls we get, and it’s also one of the more time-sensitive ones — restricted airflow that causes slow drying is also a leading cause of dryer fires, so it’s worth having checked promptly rather than working around it. BST Repair Service technicians serve San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, Burbank, Calabasas, and the surrounding area, repairing gas and electric dryers, including stacked units.
Common Causes of Dryer Problems
A dryer that runs but doesn’t heat is typically a failed heating element or tripped thermal fuse on electric models, or a weak igniter on gas models — often triggered by a clogged vent restricting airflow and causing the unit to overheat and shut down the heating circuit as a safety measure. A drum that won’t tumble usually points to a worn drive belt or a failed motor. Loud squeaking or thumping noises are commonly worn drum support rollers or a glide bearing. Drying times that have gradually gotten longer almost always trace back to lint buildup in the vent line rather than a failing part.
Repair vs. Replace: How to Decide
Dryer repairs — elements, igniters, belts, and rollers — are inexpensive relative to a new dryer and worth doing on units under about 10-12 years old. A failed motor on an older dryer is the more common point where replacement starts to make sense, since motor replacement labor approaches a larger share of a new unit’s cost.
What Our Technicians Check During a Dryer Repair Visit
We check the heating element or igniter, test the thermal fuse and thermostat, inspect the vent line for lint restriction (a fire safety check as much as a repair step), and check the drive belt, rollers, and motor if the drum isn’t tumbling smoothly. If drying times have gradually increased without any new noise or error, we start with the vent line before assuming a part has failed.

Why is my dryer running but not heating?
On electric dryers this is most often a failed heating element or a tripped thermal fuse, frequently caused by restricted airflow from a clogged vent. On gas dryers it's typically an igniter that's no longer opening the gas valve. A clogged vent is worth checking first since it's the most common underlying cause.
Why does my dryer take much longer than it used to?
This is almost always restricted airflow — a clogged lint screen, a blocked exhaust vent, or a partially failed heating element that's still working but underperforming. A blocked vent is also a fire safety concern, so we check and clear it as part of any dryer repair visit.
