Vienna notes
Dryers in Vienna homes
Plenty of Vienna dryers sit in a basement or ground-floor laundry room with a short, straight vent through the wall, which is about the best setup a dryer can have. When drying slows in a house like that, the lint screen housing, the short duct behind the dryer and the outside flap are the usual places lint collects.
Gas dryers whose igniter glows but never lights the burner usually need new gas-valve coils. If the igniter doesn't glow at all, the igniter itself, a thermal fuse or the flame sensor is more likely.
Older dryers that have run for years tend to need wear parts: drum rollers, the idler pulley, the belt and the drum glides. Replacing them together quiets a noisy dryer and usually costs far less than a new machine.
If you smell gas, leave the dryer alone and get out of the house before you call Washington Gas or 911.

Frequently asked questions
Dryer Repair in Vienna, VA FAQ
Can someone come fix my dryer today in Vienna?
We're based in Alexandria, about 14 miles from Vienna. Same-day and next-day appointments are available when the technician route has open windows; call or book online for the earliest option. Appointments cost the same on weekdays, evenings and weekends - our hours run 8 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 10 PM on Sunday, all at one standard rate.
Many dryer repairs are completed in a single visit once the technician has diagnosed the fault and confirmed the parts on hand. If a specific part has to be ordered, we schedule a short return visit to finish the job.
How much does it cost to fix a dryer in Vienna?
Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit, or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. Labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. Heating elements, igniters, thermal fuses and rollers are the common, reasonably priced fixes. The quote comes after diagnosis and before repair - and if restricted airflow is what is really shortening your dryer's life, we say so instead of selling the next part. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
What dryer problems do you fix in Vienna?
Common calls include dryer not heating, long drying times, dryer squeaking, drum not turning, burning smell and airflow restriction. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis.
My gas dryer igniter glows but the burner doesn't light. What's wrong?
Usually the gas valve coils. They open the valve once the igniter is hot, and when they weaken, the igniter glows and then shuts off without lighting. It's an inexpensive repair on most dryers.
My dryer runs but takes much longer than it used to. Where should I look?
Clean the lint screen and the housing it sits in, then check the duct behind the dryer and the outside flap while it runs. If the airflow is strong and drying is still slow, a heating part or sensor may be failing.
Should I try to fix the dryer myself first?
Start with the safe basics: empty the lint screen, confirm the breaker has not tripped, and check that the outside vent flap opens freely. Leave heating elements, thermostats and gas components to a technician - and if you ever smell burning, stop using the dryer until it is inspected.
