Expert Dryer Repair Throughout the GTA

Dryer Fire Safety: Clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of house fires in Canada. If your dryer is taking longer than normal to dry clothes, it may signal a blockage. Book a service call promptly — our technicians inspect and clear the vent system as part of every dryer repair.

A broken dryer is more than an inconvenience — it disrupts your household's daily rhythm and can lead to damp laundry, mildew, and mounting frustration. PRT Appliance provides certified dryer repair across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, handling gas and electric models from every major manufacturer.

Our technicians are experienced with all dryer configurations — front-load, top-load, vented, and ventless (condenser/heat pump). We service Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Electrolux, Bosch, and many more. Whether your dryer won't start, isn't heating, runs too hot, or makes alarming squealing sounds, we carry the tools and parts to resolve most issues on the first visit.

Our service is fully transparent: you receive a written diagnostic quote before we begin, and every repair is backed by a warranty on parts and labour.

Dryer Problems We Repair

Whether your dryer hums without spinning or roars without heat, our team has the fix.

Dryer Not Heating

This is the most common dryer complaint. For electric dryers, the culprit is usually a blown thermal fuse, a burned-out heating element, or a failed cycling thermostat. For gas dryers, a faulty igniter, defective gas valve coils, or a tripped thermal fuse are the typical causes. We test the entire heating circuit and replace only the failed component, restoring full drying performance.

Drum Not Turning

A dryer that runs but the drum doesn't spin almost always points to a broken or worn drive belt. The motor may also have seized, or the drum support rollers and idler pulley may have failed, placing excessive load on the belt. Our technicians inspect the entire drive system, replace the belt and any worn supporting components, and verify smooth operation before leaving.

Taking Too Long to Dry

Excessively long drying cycles are often caused by a blocked or restricted exhaust vent — a serious fire hazard. Other causes include a faulty moisture sensor that doesn't detect when clothes are dry, a weak heating element, or a restricted airflow due to a clogged lint trap housing. We inspect the vent system, clean blockages, and test sensor and heating performance.

Loud Squealing or Thumping

A squealing dryer usually means worn drum support rollers, a failing idler pulley, or a glazed drive belt that slips on the drum. Thumping or banging sounds often indicate damaged drum glides or a worn rear bearing. These noises worsen over time and can cause more extensive (and costly) damage if left unaddressed. We replace all worn bearing components as part of a thorough repair.

Won't Start

When the dryer doesn't respond at all or only hums when the start button is pressed, the problem is often a faulty start switch, a failed door switch (the dryer won't run if it thinks the door is open), a blown thermal fuse, or a defective drive motor. We perform a systematic electrical check to pinpoint the exact failed component and restore normal operation.

Shutting Off Mid-Cycle

A dryer that stops mid-cycle typically signals an overheating issue — a safety thermostat is tripping to prevent a fire. The root cause is usually a clogged exhaust vent, a failing cycling thermostat, or a defective heating element running too hot. Less commonly, an intermittent electrical connection or a failing motor can cause unexpected shutoffs. We identify the root cause and fix it permanently.

Dryer Repair FAQ

Dryer repair in Toronto typically costs between $100 and $300 for most common issues. Replacing a thermal fuse or drive belt tends to be at the lower end, while replacing a heating element, motor, or control board will cost more. We always provide an upfront written quote after diagnosing the problem — no surprises. In most cases, repair is far more affordable than buying a new dryer.
An electric dryer that spins but produces no heat has most likely blown a thermal fuse — a one-time safety device that trips when the dryer overheats. The thermal fuse must be replaced, but it's equally important to find out why the dryer overheated in the first place. The most common cause is a clogged exhaust vent. If you simply replace the fuse without clearing the vent, it will blow again quickly. Our technicians address both the symptom and the root cause.
A squeaking dryer isn't immediately dangerous, but it indicates mechanical wear that will worsen over time. Worn drum rollers, a failing idler pulley, or a worn drive belt will eventually break completely, leaving you with a dryer that doesn't operate at all. Addressing a squeak early is much cheaper than waiting until the drum stops turning entirely. We recommend booking a repair as soon as you notice unusual noises.
Warning signs of a clogged dryer vent include: clothes taking more than one cycle to fully dry, the dryer or laundry room feeling very hot during operation, a burning or musty smell coming from the dryer, and the outside vent flap not opening when the dryer is running. If you notice any of these signs, stop using the dryer and call PRT Appliance. A clogged vent is a significant fire hazard and should be cleared promptly.
Yes. PRT Appliance repairs both vented and ventless dryers, including condenser dryers and heat pump dryers. Heat pump dryers (popular brands: Bosch, Miele, LG) are more energy-efficient but have more complex refrigeration-style components. Our technicians are trained to service these models, including cleaning condenser coils, replacing heat pump components, and diagnosing condensate pump issues.
