What Dryer Repair Customers Say
From our 149 verified 5-star Google reviews
"AG went above and beyond on the repair of my dryer. Not only did he fix the problem, but he also cleaned all the vents and made sure the dryer was in proper working condition."
"Absolutely amazing service! Timely, cost was right, knowledgeable, great customer experience! Definitely will be using them again! Thank you! Dryer is back in action!"
"We've received fast and high quality service on our dryer each time we've needed it. The repairman is courteous and clear — we will call him again when another appliance needs repair."
"AG has been fantastic while fixing our dryer! His work is thorough and his customer service is A+++! He will definitely be my 1st call when we need another repair! Thanks again AG!"
"AG fixed my Dryer. He discovered that the whole exhaust system was crammed with dust and valiantly crawled under the house amidst the dust and spiders and saved the day. He also diagnosed why my drawer fridge was whining, he told me to defrost it, duh. He is great, I would recommend him highly."

How Our Dryer Repair Works
From your call to a working dryer, usually the same day.
Dryer Vents & Fire Safety
A dryer that runs but takes longer than usual to dry clothes is not just inconvenient; it's a warning sign. Restricted exhaust vents trap heat, force the dryer to work harder, and create the conditions for lint to ignite.
⚠️ What the numbers say
USFA says failure to clean was the leading contributing factor in 31% of home clothes-dryer fires in 2018-2020. In Southern California's dusty climate, lint accumulates faster than most homeowners expect.
Signs your vent needs attention: clothes take more than one cycle to dry, the dryer exterior is very hot to the touch, the laundry room feels humid, or it has been more than a year since the duct was cleaned.
Every service visit includes a vent inspection at no extra charge. If we find a restriction, we'll clear it and confirm proper airflow before we leave.
Repair or Replace Your Dryer?
Dryers have a Department of Energy mean service life of 14 years. If your machine is under 11 years old, repair is almost always the right call; a quality replacement dryer runs $600–$1,000 installed, and common repairs cost a fraction of that. Even a heating element replacement on a 7-year-old dryer makes economic sense. For a full breakdown by symptom, see our Orange County appliance repair cost guide.
Our rule of thumb: If the repair cost is under 50% of a comparable new dryer and the machine is under 11 years old, fix it. Past that, with a failed motor, drum bearing, or control board, we'll tell you honestly, and help you decide rather than push for the repair.
Pricing & Discounts
- $99 diagnostic fee: applied toward your repair if you approve the work. If you decide not to proceed, the $99 covers the visit.
- 30-day diagnostic credit: call us back within 30 days and your $99 is credited toward the repair estimate.
- Multi-unit visits: first unit $99, each additional unit on the same visit $49.
- 20% off labor for repeat customers and seniors 60+ (cannot combine with other offers).
