SYMPTOM · DRYER · ORANGE COUNTY

Dryer not heating.

Drum spins but the laundry stays damp. Often the heating element, a tripped thermal fuse, or (on gas units) a weak valve coil. Diagnosis in about 45 minutes.

(323) 818-6611
$65 diagnostic, waived with repair
45–90 min typical
Same & next-day Mon–Sun

Common causes for this symptom.

  • Heating element burned out (electric).

    The coil at the back of the drum has broken open. Drum spins, air moves, but everything stays cold. Most common cause on electric dryers past 6–8 years.

  • Thermal fuse tripped.

    A safety fuse on the blower housing has blown, almost always from a clogged dryer vent overheating the cabinet. We replace the fuse and address the vent.

  • High-limit thermostat failed.

    The thermostat that caps cabinet temperature has stuck open. Heat never turns on. A cheap part, quick swap once the back panel is off.

  • Gas valve solenoid weak (gas).

    On gas dryers, one of the two valve coils has lost magnetism. Igniter glows but gas never opens, so no flame. We replace the coil pair as a set.

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.
