01 / Heating
Dryer runs but won’t heat
A turning drum without heat needs the right diagnosis. We test the heating or ignition system and safety controls, then explain the repair before replacing parts.

Dryer problems we help with
Find the cause.
Fix the problem.
LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE and other major brands. We repair heating faults, noisy operation, drum-drive problems and controls.
02 / Noise
Squeaking, rumbling or thumping
A loud squeal or rumble can come from worn rollers, an idler pulley, the belt or another moving part. We locate the noise and repair the cause.
03 / Operation
Won’t start or turn
A belt, motor, door switch or control fault can stop a dryer. We check what failed and give you the repair price before work starts.
More dryer problems we repair
No heat, noise
and other dryer faults.
We repair the dryer itself: heating, drum movement, motors, switches and controls. Each symptom is checked before parts are recommended.
Squeaks or squeals
We inspect rollers, the idler pulley, the belt and other moving parts to find the source of the noise.
Drum won’t turn
A broken belt, worn idler, seized roller, motor problem or another drive-system fault can stop the drum from tumbling.
Starts, then stops
Intermittent shutdowns can involve the motor, thermal protection, airflow, wiring or electronic controls.
Rumbles or thumps
Worn drum supports, a damaged roller or another mechanical problem can make each load unusually loud.
Burning smell
Stop using the dryer if you notice a burning smell or unusual overheating. Lint, a slipping belt, motor trouble or electrical heat can all require inspection.
Won’t shut off
A dryer that keeps running may have a timer, moisture-sensor, control-board or switch problem depending on the model.
Gas dryer won’t ignite
We check the igniter, flame sensor, gas-valve coils, thermal protection and the burner sequence rather than replacing parts by guesswork.
Error codes or controls
Display errors, unresponsive controls and sensor-cycle problems can come from wiring, sensors, switches or electronic control components.
Gas & electric dryers
We diagnose the system,
not just the symptom.
Both gas and electric dryers use airflow, temperature control, drum-drive and safety components. The heat source is different, so the diagnostic path is different too.
Electric dryer
Common checks include the heating element, thermal fuse, thermostats and high-limit protection, motor and centrifugal switch, belt, rollers, idler, sensors and electronic controls.
Gas dryer
Common checks include the igniter, flame sensor, gas-valve coils, thermal fuse, airflow, burner operation, motor, drum-drive components and controls.
Common repair patterns
What we look for
when the symptoms overlap.
Runs but no heatHeating circuit, thermal protection, airflow and—on gas models—the ignition sequence.
Motor runs but the drum stays stillBelt, idler, motor and drum-support checks to find what stopped the drum.
Squeaks, thumps or grindsDrum rollers, idler pulley, belt, glides, bearings, blower wheel and foreign objects.
Starts but stops mid-cycleMotor condition, thermal protection, airflow, wiring and control behavior under load.
Field experience
Hands-on dryer repairs.
Clear answers before work starts.
Local Appliance Repair has been in business for 8 years, with hands-on experience across thousands of appliance repairs. Dryer diagnostics include the heating system, airflow, drum support, drive components, safety devices, wiring and controls—not just the first part that matches a symptom.

Real repair examples
What dryer failures
look like inside.
These photos are from our actual dryer repair work. They show why a symptom alone is not enough to identify the failed part.
Noise / drum support
Seized and unevenly worn drum rollers
The dryer was rumbling heavily. Several rollers were badly worn and some had seized, letting the drum ride unevenly. The roller set was replaced and the drum returned to smooth operation.
Gas heat / burner
Weak burner flame from failing valve coils
The gas dryer was heating poorly because burner operation was weak and inconsistent. Diagnosis pointed to the gas-valve coils; replacing them restored normal burner operation and heat.
Drum not turning
Broken drive belt
A broken belt left the drum unable to turn. The belt was replaced and the idler and drum-support system were checked before reassembly.
Inside the dryer cabinet
Heavy lint buildup inside the cabinet
This dryer had extensive lint and dust around the motor and internal ducting. Heavy buildup can restrict airflow and increase heat risk. This example shows buildup inside the appliance, not a vent-cleaning service. We do not clean the exhaust duct through the house.

Dryer repair in Pacific Palisades
Get the heat back.
Get rid of the noise.
A dryer that tumbles without heat or squeals through every load interrupts an everyday routine. We provide same-day dryer repair appointments in Pacific Palisades 90272 for LG, Samsung and other major household brands.
No heat and noisy operation are the focus. Heating and ignition faults, worn rollers, idler pulleys and broken belts need different checks. We identify the failed part, explain the repair price and test the dryer after the approved work.
Keep booking simple. Tell us the brand, what the dryer is doing and your service address. Mention a stacked pair, upstairs laundry or gate access so the technician can plan the visit. There is no need to move the dryer before we arrive.
Before you call
A few useful
answers.
Can I book a same-day dryer repair appointment in Pacific Palisades?
Yes. Same-day dryer repair appointments are available in Pacific Palisades 90272. We are open every day, 7 AM–8 PM Pacific Time. Call to book your visit. A repair that needs an ordered part may require a return visit.
My LG dryer runs but does not heat. Can you repair it?
We diagnose no-heat faults on gas and electric LG dryers. We test the heating or ignition system, safety controls and related components before recommending a repair. You get the findings and price before work starts.
Why is my LG or Samsung dryer squeaking?
Worn drum rollers, an idler pulley, a belt or another moving component can cause squeaking. A rumble or thump can point to a different part. We inspect the machine to locate the source rather than replacing parts based on the sound alone.
The dryer hums but the drum does not turn. What should I do?
Stop trying to run it and arrange a diagnosis. The belt, drum support, motor or another drive component may need attention. Do not force the drum or keep restarting a machine that is struggling to turn.
Which dryer brands do you repair?
We service LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Kenmore, Amana, Frigidaire and Electrolux dryers, along with other major brands. Share the brand and model number when booking.
Do you clean dryer vents?
No. We repair the dryer itself; we do not provide dryer vent or duct cleaning. A dryer that gets hot but leaves clothes damp may have a restricted exhaust duct. For cleaning the vent through the wall or roof, contact a dryer-vent cleaning specialist.
How do the service call fee and repair guarantee work?
The diagnostic/service call is applied toward an approved repair. We explain the repair price before starting, and completed repairs include our parts and labor guarantee.
What should I have ready for the visit?
Give us your Pacific Palisades address, the brand, the symptom and any error code. A model number is useful if it is easy to reach. Mention a stacked unit, stairs or gate access. Leave heavy equipment in place for the technician.
