Quick answer
If your clothes dryer won't heat, won't start, or takes two cycles to dry a load, Family First Comfort repairs gas and electric dryers across Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and the DFW Metroplex. We diagnose the real cause, check the dryer vent, and give you one flat price before any repair.
A dryer that stops heating or takes forever to dry usually has one of a handful of causes: a failed heating element or igniter, a blown thermal fuse, a worn belt or roller, or a clogged vent that's making the dryer overheat and shut itself down.
We work on both gas and electric dryers. Because a blocked vent is behind so many dryer failures, we check the vent on every dryer repair, so the same part doesn't fail again a month later.
If a repair doesn't make sense for an older dryer, we'll tell you plainly before you spend money on it.
Signs You Need Dryer Repair
- The dryer runs but there's no heat
- Clothes need two or more cycles to dry
- The dryer won't start, or stops partway through a cycle
- The drum doesn't turn, or you hear thumping, squealing, or grinding
- The dryer or the laundry room gets unusually hot
- A burning smell while the dryer runs (turn it off and call)
What's Included
- Diagnosis of gas and electric dryers
- Heating element, igniter, gas valve coil, and flame sensor testing and replacement
- Thermal fuse, thermostat, and high-limit switch replacement
- Belt, drum roller, idler pulley, and motor repair
- Door switch, timer, and control problems
- A dryer vent airflow check, so a clogged vent doesn't cause the next failure
What Affects the Cost of Dryer Repair
- Which part failed, and whether it's a gas or electric dryer
- The dryer's make, model, and age, which affect part availability
- Whether a clogged vent caused the failure and also needs cleaning
We give you a clear price after diagnosing your specific situation, not a generic number before we've seen your system.

Why is my dryer running but not heating?+
On an electric dryer, it's often a failed heating element or a blown thermal fuse. On a gas dryer, it's often the igniter, the gas valve coils, or the flame sensor. A clogged vent can cause the overheating that blows the fuse, so we check the vent too.
Do you repair both gas and electric dryers?+
Yes. Family First Comfort repairs gas and electric clothes dryers throughout Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and the DFW Metroplex.
Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?+
The most common cause is a clogged or crushed dryer vent. The dryer can't push out the moist air, so drying takes longer and the dryer runs hot. Dryer vent cleaning usually fixes it.
Is it worth repairing an old dryer?+
Often, yes. Many dryer repairs replace one inexpensive part. If the repair doesn't make sense for the dryer's age and condition, we'll tell you before any work begins.
