The most common dryer fault there is — and one of the most predictable to fix. Here's the suspect list, the safe checks, and the all-in price.
Obvious, but it eliminates the easiest variable before the visit and helps our airflow reading mean something.
Electric dryers use a double breaker; half-tripped, the drum spins but heat is gone. Reset once. If it trips again, stop and book.
Run the dryer 5 minutes: little or no airflow at the outside cap points at the vent run before anyone opens the machine.
The visit runs a fixed route: exhaust temperature and airflow first, then the thermal chain — fuse, cycling thermostat, high-limit — under a meter, then the element or the gas ignition set depending on fuel. The failed part is named, the written all-in price lands, and on approval the repair happens on the spot; heat parts for the common platforms ride on the van.
One promise specific to this fault: if the vent run contributed, it gets cleared in the same visit and said out loud. A no-heat repair that ignores airflow is a subscription, not a fix — you'd see us again in a month, and neither of us wants that.
Usually same-week, often next-day — no-heat calls are the bulk of dryer work and the van is permanently stocked for them. The visit itself typically wraps inside ninety minutes including the airflow verification and a full timed test cycle.
Occasionally, and testing sorts it quickly: if the element circuit never receives voltage, attention moves upstream to the timer, relay or board. That's a rarer, pricier branch, and you'll hear the revised number before anything is ordered — the all-in quote precedes the work, whatever the diagnosis.
Cold, no — but if the no-heat episode followed burning smells or an overheat shutdown, park it until it's inspected. A tripped thermal fuse is the machine telling you airflow got bad enough to matter, and that condition is the one dryer fault with a real fire history behind it.

The all-in price covers diagnosis, labor and parts. It doesn't move after work starts.
$95 for the visit and diagnosis is the whole bill — if the fix costs too much or the machine isn't worth it, that's all you owe.
