The Twin Cities repair mix
What drives the price
Most dryer failures are cheap parts on a simple machine, so labor and access drive the total. A thermal fuse is a 30-minute swap; a drum-roller and belt kit means pulling the drum. Stacked laundry centers and closet installs add pull-out time. Heat-pump dryers (Bosch, Miele, LG) cost more because the heat source is a sealed refrigerant circuit, not an element.
Symptom → likely cause → price
Runs but no heat → thermal fuse, element, or igniter ($165–$385). Heats then shuts off → clogged vent and cycling thermostat ($185–$285). Drum won't turn → belt or idler pulley ($245–$345). Loud thumping or squeal → rollers or glides ($265–$385). Won't start at all → door switch, start switch, or fuse ($185–$285). Takes forever → vent restriction or moisture sensor ($185–$265).
Brand-specific pricing
Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore share platforms with the cheapest, most available parts. Samsung and LG boards and thermistors cost a little more. Heat-pump dryer work is quoted in writing before we start.
When repair stops making sense
Nearly every dryer repair is worth doing: even a $525 control board is well under the price of a new dryer. We suggest replacing only past year 12 with several failures at once, or after heat damage from a vent fire. If you decline the repair, your $149 covers a written diagnosis.

FAQ
Dryer repair in the Twin Cities: FAQs
How much does dryer repair cost in 2026?
Most Twin Cities dryer repairs land $165–$425 all-in, including the OEM part, labor, and the flat $149 trip fee credited on approval. Control boards and heat-pump work can reach $525 or more and are quoted in writing first.
Is the $149 trip fee on top of the repair price?
No. The $149 is credited toward the repair once you approve it, so the prices here are the total. If you decline, it covers the visit and a written diagnosis.
What is the cheapest dryer repair?
A blown thermal fuse, usually $165–$245 all-in. We always check the vent in the same visit, because a clogged vent is what blows the fuse.
Do gas dryers cost more to repair than electric?
About the same. A gas igniter runs $245–$345 and an electric heating element $265–$385. Gas valve coils are $245–$325.
Do you warranty dryer repairs?
Yes — a 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty. If the same fault comes back in that window, we return with no second trip fee.
