No heat, drum still turns
Usual cause: Heating element or thermal fuse on electric dryers, igniter or gas valve coils on gas dryers.
What I do: I carry the common elements, fuses and igniters.
A dryer that stopped heating or takes two cycles per load is a fast, inexpensive fix in most homes. I am Ramez, owner of R3M Appliance Repair. Gas and electric dryers, every major brand, repaired in Rockwall and the cities around it with same-day service on most calls.
The problems I see most, what usually causes them, and how I fix them.
Usual cause: Heating element or thermal fuse on electric dryers, igniter or gas valve coils on gas dryers.
What I do: I carry the common elements, fuses and igniters.
Usual cause: Clogged vent line or a lint-packed blower housing. Sometimes a weak heating element.
What I do: I check airflow first. A blocked vent is also a fire risk, so this one matters.
Usual cause: Broken belt, worn drum rollers or a failed motor.
What I do: Belts and rollers are quick. Motors are still usually worth it.
Usual cause: Drum rollers, idler pulley or glides.
What I do: Same-day on most dryers.
Usual cause: Cycling thermostat, moisture sensor or restricted airflow.
What I do: Diagnosed and replaced on the spot.
I test heat, airflow and the drive system in one pass, so you do not pay for a second visit. Long vent runs in two-story homes are the most common thing I find around here.
Nearly every dryer problem is worth repairing. The parts are inexpensive and dryers last a long time when the vent is kept clear.
Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Kenmore, Frigidaire and Electrolux, gas and electric.

Yes. Igniters, gas valve coils, flame sensors and thermal fuses.
I clear the vent at the machine and check airflow through the wall. Full duct cleaning through the roof is a separate service I can point you to.
No. Unplug it and call. It is usually lint on the element, but it should be looked at before the next load.
I diagnose first and give you a clear price before any work starts. No surprises added afterward.
Yes. Every repair comes with a warranty on the parts I install and on my work.
Photos from a Samsung dryer I repaired in Fate, TX this week. No stock images, this is the actual unit.


Honest diagnosis, a clear price before any work starts, and a warranty on every repair.
