What we fix in Minneapolis
The Minneapolis repair mix
Thermal fuse blown from a clogged vent
Most common in older Minneapolis homes with long basement vent runs. Replace the fuse, but also clean the vent — or it pops again in a month.
Heating element failure (electric)
Coil break inside the element housing. Multimeter test confirms. Common on dryers past year 8.
Igniter failed (gas)
Glow-bar igniter wears out. We test the ignition sequence — igniter glows but won't fire = bad flame sensor, not the igniter.
Cycling thermostat / hi-limit
These trip from overheating (almost always vent restriction). Same fix story as the thermal fuse.
Bad timer / control board
Rare. We rule out everything else first because boards are the most expensive part on the dryer.

FAQ
Minneapolis questions, answered
Why is my dryer not heating?
5 causes account for almost every case — listed above by frequency. Without an in-home test we can't tell you which one is yours, but we can tell you what we'd check first.
Can I fix this myself?
Sometimes. If it's a coin in the drain pump, a clogged dryer vent, or a knockout plug on a new dishwasher — yes. If it's a sealed system, a control board, or a gas safety component — no. We'd rather you DIY the easy ones.
How much will it cost to repair?
Flat $129 diagnostic ($149 for refrigeration), waived when you approve the repair. Most dryer repairs land $225–$525 all-in. We give you a written quote before any work.
How fast can you come out?
Same-day windows weekdays when you call before 2pm. Otherwise next business day. We cover every Minneapolis ZIP — no extra trip charge anywhere inside city limits.
Do you stock the common parts?
Yes — for dryers, that's drain pumps, door boots, heating elements, thermistors, igniters, control-board common SKUs, and OEM gaskets. About 80% of these calls finish first visit.
What if repair doesn't make sense?
We tell you straight. If the repair is over 50% of replacement on an appliance past year 10, we recommend replacement and the $129 still applies for the honest answer.
