Dryer Repair San Francisco
Dryers are essential for San Francisco homes, especially where weather conditions make outdoor drying impractical. Top Appliance Repair offers complete dryer repair services for gas and electric models from all leading brands, including LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, Miele, and Electrolux.
Common Dryer Problems We Fix
Common dryer problems include no heat, long drying times, loud noises, or the unit not turning on. A dryer that tumbles but does not heat usually has a burned-out heating element, blown thermal fuse, or defective thermostat. Gas dryers that fail to ignite may have worn igniters, faulty gas valves, or sensor issues.
Another frequent issue is the dryer taking too long to dry clothes. This often results from restricted airflow caused by clogged vents, lint buildup, or blocked ductwork. In San Francisco’s humid environment, moisture sensors can also malfunction, causing the dryer to stop prematurely or overheat.
Customers often complain about dryers making squeaking or grinding noises, which are typically caused by worn drum rollers, idler pulleys, or drive belts. Control panels that don’t respond or start buttons that fail to engage can indicate switch or board failures.
Brand-Specific Dryer Expertise
LG and Samsung dryers sometimes display error codes like “d80” or “tS,” indicating vent restriction or temperature sensor problems. Whirlpool and Maytag units often experience heating coil and thermal fuse issues. Bosch and Miele dryers, which use advanced heat pump technology, may show drying inefficiency due to clogged filters or sensor malfunctions.
