Gas dryer: no heat
Igniter, flame sensor, gas valve coils and the safety circuit. On a gas dryer that clicks but never lights, the igniter and valve coils are the first things we test.

Quick answer
A commercial dryer that won't heat is most often a restricted vent, a failed igniter or gas valve coil on gas models, or a burned-out element or tripped high-limit on electric models. We check airflow on every dryer call, because a lint-packed exhaust run causes more repeat failures than any part. We service Speed Queen, Huebsch, Continental Girbau, Electrolux, UniMac and Maytag Commercial dryers.

Igniter, flame sensor, gas valve coils and the safety circuit. On a gas dryer that clicks but never lights, the igniter and valve coils are the first things we test.
Typical repair: $225–$585 parts and labor, plus the diagnostic
Heating elements, high-limit and thermal fuse, and the relay that feeds the element. We confirm the cause rather than swapping a fuse that will blow again.
Typical repair: $225–$585 parts and labor, plus the diagnostic
Door switch, start switch, motor start components, control board and payment interface. We test the circuit before replacing the part.
Typical repair: $225–$585 parts and labor, plus the diagnostic
Almost always airflow: a clogged lint screen, packed exhaust duct, a crushed duct behind the machine or a stuck vent flap. We check the exhaust run on every dryer call.
Typical repair: Quoted on site
Broken belts, worn drum rollers and idler pulleys, and motor faults. Squealing, thumping or a drum that stops turning.

Why call us
A long, bent or lint-packed exhaust duct makes dryers run hot, dry slowly and trip safeties. Replacing a thermal fuse without fixing the airflow just resets the clock. We look at the exhaust every time.
Lint is fuel. A dryer that is overheating or drying slowly is telling you something. We'll tell you plainly if the vent needs cleaning by a duct-cleaning contractor.
The same technician handles igniters, valve coils, elements and controls, so you don't need to schedule a second visit for a second trade.
Scope and price in writing before any work starts, and a 1-year parts-and-labor warranty on the repair.
Repair or replace?
| Situation | Our recommendation |
|---|---|
| Igniter, valve coil, element, fuse, belt or switch failure | Repair. Routine parts on a machine that is otherwise sound. |
| Dryer is slow and hot, vent is clean, drum and burner are fine | Look at make-up air. A laundry room with no incoming air makes dryers struggle. |
| Burned or warped drum, heavy rust-through, or a cracked burner housing | Usually replace. We'll tell you before you spend money. |
| Gas smell | Leave the building, don't touch switches or flames, and call your gas utility (CenterPoint Energy or Xcel Energy) or 911 from outside. Then call us. |

If your equipment is down right now
Empty the lint screen and look for lint packed around the screen housing. A blocked screen is the most common cause of slow drying.
With the dryer running, confirm the outside flap opens and air is moving. If it stays shut, the vent is restricted.
Look at the breaker. On a gas dryer, confirm the gas valve behind the machine is open. If you smell gas, leave the building, don't operate switches or flames, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside.
Write down the model number, whether the drum turns, and whether you hear clicking. It helps us bring the right parts.

FAQs
Yes. We repair commercial gas and electric dryers across Minneapolis, St. Paul, the Twin Cities metro and western Wisconsin, for hotels, apartments, gyms, clinics and laundromats. Same-day appointments are available, 7am–9pm every day.
On gas dryers it's usually the igniter or the gas valve coils. On electric dryers it's a burned-out element or a tripped high-limit or thermal fuse. A restricted vent can cause any of these, so we check airflow too.
Restricted airflow is the most common reason: a full lint screen, a packed or crushed exhaust duct, or a stuck vent flap. A weak burner or element is the second most likely cause.
Dryers shut off when the high-limit or thermal fuse trips from overheating, almost always because of poor airflow. Replacing the fuse alone won't hold until the airflow is fixed.
Most commercial dryer repairs land between $225 and $585 in parts and labor, plus the diagnostic, depending on the part. The commercial diagnostic is $175–$299 depending on the equipment, billed separately and not credited to the repair. Vent and duct work is quoted on site, and you get the price in writing before any work begins.

Yes. We diagnose the dryer and its payment interface together, since a coin or card reader fault can look like a dryer that won't start. See our coin-operated laundry repair page for details.
Yes. Lint buildup in the exhaust is a recognized cause of dryer fires, so a dryer that runs hot or dries slowly should have its vent checked and cleaned promptly. We check airflow on every dryer call and tell you plainly if the duct needs cleaning by a duct-cleaning contractor.
