Dryer Repair FAQs

At Shymon Appliance Repair, our certified technicians provide fast, same-day dryer repair across Toronto and the GTA.
Here are answers to some of the most common questions homeowners ask about dryer service.
Why won’t my dryer heat up?
If your dryer isn’t heating, it could be due to a faulty heating element, blown thermal fuse,
broken thermostat, or clogged vents. Our technicians will diagnose the issue and replace defective parts if needed.
Why is my dryer making loud noises?
Loud banging, squeaking, or grinding sounds are often caused by worn drum rollers,
a broken belt, or faulty bearings. Professional repair ensures safe and quiet operation.
Why does my dryer take too long to dry clothes?
If drying takes longer than usual, the cause is often a clogged dryer vent, lint buildup,
or a failing heating element. A vent cleaning or part replacement will usually solve the issue.
Is dryer vent cleaning really necessary?
Yes—lint buildup in vents is a major fire hazard and reduces efficiency.
We recommend professional dryer vent cleaning at least once a year to ensure safety and performance.
Is it worth repairing an old dryer?
If your dryer is under 10 years old, repair is usually the most cost-effective solution.
For older units with frequent breakdowns, replacement may be recommended.
Our team provides honest advice based on your appliance’s condition.
How long should a dryer last?
On average, a dryer lasts 10–13 years with proper care and maintenance.
Regular vent cleaning and not overloading the drum can extend its lifespan.
What dryer brands do you repair?
We service all major brands, including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Frigidaire, Bosch, and more.
What are signs my dryer needs repair?
Signs include no heat, burning smells, long drying times, unusual noises,
or clothes coming out damp or too hot. These issues require immediate inspection.
