Dryer Repair in Alexandria — Book a Visit Today
An hour in and the towels are still damp. Nine times in ten that is airflow, not heat. Lint packs the blower wheel, the vent run chokes, and the machine cycles its thermal fuse to protect itself. Sometimes the fuse blows for good and the drum turns with no warmth at all. We work on gas and electric units throughout Alexandria and over toward Lincolnia. Older homes here often have long duct runs to an outside wall, which makes the problem worse each year. Describe the smell and the cycle time when you call us.

Dryer Repair in Alexandria — quick answers
Why does my electric dryer tumble but never heat?
That pattern usually means the machine still has 120 volts but lost the second leg, or the heating element or thermal fuse is open. Restricted venting is the common root cause. We test the circuit and the components rather than guessing at parts.
Is a noisy dryer worth fixing?
Often yes. Rollers, belts, idler pulleys, and glides are wear items designed to be replaced. If the drum bearing has chewed into the rear bulkhead, we say so plainly and let you decide whether repair still makes sense.
How often should the vent be cleaned?
Once a year for a short run, more often if the duct is long, ribbed, or snakes through a crawlspace. Lint buildup is the usual reason heating parts fail twice. We clear what we can reach during the repair.
Do you work on gas dryers?
Yes. Gas models bring their own failure list: igniters, flame sensors, gas valve coils, and radiant sensors. We check gas supply and combustion airflow too. If we find anything unsafe with the line, we stop and tell you straight.
How soon can you get to my Alexandria house?
Call us and we'll give you the next open window we actually have, usually within a couple of days. We route the city by area, so 22305 and 22306 calls often land the same trip. Parking is the real variable in Old Town, so let us know if you have a driveway or a permit spot.

Why homeowners call us
- Coal-country water eats machinesHard water and iron leave scale on heaters, valves, and pumps. Dishwashers film over. Washers clog. We see it every week and we clean and replace the parts that mineral buildup actually ruins.
- Old farmhouse wiring, respectedPlenty of homes here run on two-prong outlets and panels older than the appliance. Low voltage and shared circuits cause faults people blame on the machine. We check the power before condemning a board.
- Mike's name on the truckThis is a small workshop, not a call center. The person who answers knows the tech who shows up. If something isn't right after we leave, you call us and reach us directly.
- Independent on every brandWe work on refrigerators, ranges, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and freezers from all major makers. No brand tells us what to recommend. Sometimes the honest answer is that a repair isn't worth doing.
- All major brands, gas & electricWhirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE, Maytag, Bosch, KitchenAid and more — as an independent repair company.
- Straight answersIf it isn't worth repairing, we'll say so — often on the phone.
