It tumbles but there's no heat. Expensive?

Usually not. On an electric dryer that is most often a thermal fuse or a heating element, and both are routine. The useful question is why the fuse blew, and it is nearly always restricted airflow, which is why we check the vent on the same visit.

Towels take three cycles. Is the dryer failing?

Nine times in ten it is the vent, not the dryer. See dryer vent cleaning. It is the cheaper answer and we would rather you had it.

The top of the dryer is hot to touch.

Stop using it and call us. Overheating with restricted airflow is how dryer fires start, and lint is the fuel. This one is worth jumping the queue for.

Dryer Repair Chandler AZ | MM Appliances Repair

Repaired in your home. Nothing to transport. We work on the appliance where it stands. You don't unplug anything, you don't find a van, and you don't wait for a bench slot at a shop.

We don't work on gas appliances. Gas dryers, gas ranges, gas cooktops and gas hookups need a contractor license we don't hold yet, so we'd rather say so here than after you've waited in for an appointment. If you're not sure whether yours is gas or electric, call us. It takes one question to find out, and if it's electric we're straight back in business.

If it's taking too long to dry, read this first

A dryer that used to work and now needs two or three cycles usually doesn't have a broken part. It has a vent that can't move air. That's cheaper to fix than anything on the list above, it's the most common cause we see, and a blocked vent is also how dryer fires start.

Dryer vent cleaning is the first thing to rule out, and we can do it on the same visit.

What will it cost?

We don't publish prices, because we'd be guessing. The same symptom can turn out to be a small part or a control board, and a number on a web page that turns out to be wrong is worse than no number.

Here is what we do instead, on every job:

We diagnose the fault first.

We give you a firm written quote before any work starts. In writing, not a doorstep estimate, so you can read it, think about it, or send it to someone else.

Nothing is repaired without your approval.

If you decide not to go ahead, you pay the diagnostic and we leave. No pressure, no part fitted "while we're here".

You have 48 hours to cancel.

Even after you approve. You have 48 hours to cancel or move an appointment, in writing. After that we collect the service call charge, which covers the diagnosis, the travel and the visit itself. We give you that notice in writing when you approve the repair, with the forms to use.

And the work is covered for 3 months parts and labor once it's done.

3 months parts and labor

On every repair we do. If the same fault comes back inside the year, we come back and fix it and you pay nothing. Read the full terms.

5-year limited compressor warranty (see terms).

A compressor is the most expensive thing that fails in a refrigerator. How the cover works depends on whether it's an LG unit or a compressor we fitted, and the two are not the same. We set both out plainly.
