SYMPTOM · DRYER · ORANGE COUNTY

Dryer making weird noise.

Thump on every revolution, squeal that ramps with heat, or a rattle behind the back wall. Each points to a different part. Diagnosis in about 60 minutes.

(323) 818-6611
$65 diagnostic, waived with repair
60–90 min typical
Same & next-day Mon–Sun

Common causes for this symptom.

  • Drum rollers worn flat.

    The two or four small rollers that support the drum have flat spots. Causes a rhythmic thump on every revolution. Cheap parts, but the whole drum comes out.

  • Idler pulley seized or squealing.

    The spring-tensioned pulley that keeps the belt taut has bearing wear. Loud squeal that gets worse as the dryer warms up. Quick swap with the belt off.

  • Blower wheel collecting debris.

    Coins, lint, or a bra wire is rattling around inside the blower housing. Wheel can also crack and rub. Sounds like a small object trapped behind the back wall.

  • Motor bearings failing.

    A whining hum from underneath the drum that does not change with belt tension is usually the drive motor itself. Less common, but a clear "replace the motor" call.

What to expect when we arrive.

  • Marked van, uniformed tech, ID badge.

  • Drop cloth and shoe covers before we step inside.

  • Diagnosis and a fixed quote in writing, before any work starts.

  • Genuine OEM parts on every job.

  • Ivan is the only repairman I would ever trust with our appliances! We have used him 3 times (for our dryer, our dishwasher, and most recently our oven). We called him when our oven unexpectedly stopped working and he got us scheduled right away and had it fixed immediately! He is prompt, incredibly knowledgable, very friendly, reasonably priced, and honest! Look no further if you have any appliance repair needs! Thank you again Ivan!! - Kate

  • Our ice maker in our GE Profile refrigerator stopped working. We contacted several vendors through Yelp and Esquire was quick to respond and were able to come out the next day. Our ice maker was back up and running right away! They were able to buy the proper part and install it all in one day. They were courteous and reasonably priced. I couldn't be more pleased with how it went.
