What we fix in Minneapolis
The Minneapolis repair mix
110.* — Whirlpool platform
Most common Sears-era Kenmore dryers. Codes match Whirlpool: PF = power loss; F22 = exhaust thermistor open/short; F01 = main board; AF = restricted airflow (clogged vent — clean the duct before condemning parts); L2 = low line voltage. Parts are Whirlpool-interchangeable.
796.* — LG platform
Codes match LG: D80 / D90 / D95 = vent restriction (clean the duct first). tE = thermistor. F70 = main board comm. dE = door switch. Parts are LG-interchangeable.
110.84.* / 417.* — Frigidaire / Electrolux
Codes match Frigidaire: E60 = heater relay; E64 = heating element open; AD / AF = airflow/temp; E5B = high-limit. Parts are Frigidaire/Electrolux-interchangeable.

From the truck
Field-service notes on dryer repair
On dryer repair, we keep the diagnostic tight because the failure catalog on this brand is well-documented. Winter garage and porch installs see cold-start cycles that stress compressor start capacitors and inverter boards — a failure profile that barely exists in warmer climates.
Because this page focuses on 110.* — whirlpool platform, our tech opens the call by isolating that subsystem before touching anything else. For anything that touches refrigerant, sealed-system, or a gas train, we run OEM parts from Marcone or the factory distributor — aftermarket boards in particular are a warranty landmine we won't ship on our truck. The $149 residential diagnostic is credited toward the repair if you approve; if you don't, you pay only the diagnostic and we leave a written scope. Every completed repair carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty in writing. The section above covers the specific failure surface — most common sears-era kenmore dryers.
We stock the top-30 wear items for this brand on the truck, so the majority of first-visit calls close without a follow-up. We're EPA 608 certified for sealed-system and refrigerant work, licensed and insured in Minnesota, and every tech carries a factory diagnostic laptop for brand-specific service modes. If the model is out of parts support, we'll say so on the first call and refund the diagnostic — that's the honest read on a repair-vs-replace decision, and it's the same read we'd give a family member calling about the same dryer.
