Gas vs. Electric: How Each One Heats

What they shareBoth types use the same drum, belt, rollers, motor and blower, and both depend on a clear vent. Many no-heat calls on either type start and end with the vent.
How a gas dryer heatsA gas dryer lights a burner with a hot-surface igniter, opens the gas valve through a set of coils and uses a flame sensor to confirm ignition. When the sequence fails, the drum keeps turning but the air stays cool.

No Heat on a Gas Dryer

Gas supply and shutoffA gas dryer needs an open shutoff valve and a sound flexible connector. Technicians check the supply before the burner assembly, and leave connector replacement or line work to whoever your state allows to do gas work.
Drive motorIf the dryer hums but the drum does not move, or it starts only after a push, the motor or its start circuit is tested. On many models the motor also turns the blower wheel, so airflow and tumbling fail together.

Electric Dryer Parts That Fail

Moisture sensor and controlsSensor-dry cycles stop when two metal strips inside the drum read dry clothes. Fabric-softener film on those strips can end cycles early or let them run long, and a technician checks them before blaming the control board.
Airflow and the ventA long dry time is most often an airflow problem. A technician checks the lint screen housing, the duct behind the dryer and the exhaust hood outside before replacing any heating parts, because a restricted vent can make a healthy dryer look broken.

Gas Safety Around the Dryer

A dryer exhaust system carries combustion gases including carbon monoxide out of the home, so HUD rates a detached, missing or blocked dryer exhaust as a life-threatening deficiency; a CO alarm in the laundry area is recommended with gas dryers.

How to Choose a Dryer Technician Near Yorkville

  • Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?

Gas & Electric Dryer Repair FAQs: Yorkville, IL

Is a gas smell from the dryer an emergency?
Yes. Do not operate switches or the dryer. Leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 from outside, and only call a repair company after the utility says it is safe.
Which areas near Yorkville do these technicians cover?
The companies on this page are within driving distance of Yorkville. Each one sets its own service area, so check the distance shown and confirm your address when you call.
Are gas dryers more expensive to repair?
The common heat-source parts on both are modestly priced, and labor is similar. Gas dryers add ignition parts that electric models do not have. Our cost guide lists published ranges for both.
Who can work on a gas dryer?
Many appliance repair companies service gas dryers, including igniters, valve coils and burners. Work on the gas supply line itself may require a licensed gas or plumbing contractor depending on your state.
