Gas vs. Electric: How Each One Heats

How an electric dryer heatsAn electric dryer runs current through a coiled heating element, protected by a thermal fuse and cycling and high-limit thermostats. It needs both legs of a 240-volt circuit to heat.
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.

Angi says gas dryer repairs typically run about $50 to $100 more than comparable electric dryer repairs. Source: Angi - How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Dryer?

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.
Door switch and start circuitA dryer that does nothing when Start is pressed may have a failed door switch, start switch, fuse or control board. Checking power at the outlet comes first, since an electric dryer needs both legs of a 240-volt circuit to heat.

What a Technician Checks on an Electric Dryer

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.
Heating elementElectric dryers heat with a coiled element. If the drum turns but the air stays cool, the element is checked for continuity along with the thermostats and fuses that feed it.

Gas Safety Around the Dryer

If you smell gas strongly or are unsure, leave the building and call the gas company or 911 once you are outside; do not use light switches, appliance controls, phones near the odor, or anything that could spark.

What Wind Lake Owners Should Know

Most dryer calls in Wind Lake come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.

Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices. Source: DSPS: Plumbing License Laws in Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.

Questions to Ask a Wind Lake Technician

  • What guarantee do you give on parts and labor?
  • Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?
  • How often do you repair your brand dryers, and do you carry common parts on the truck?

Gas & Electric Dryer Repair FAQs: Wind Lake, WI

Which areas near Wind Lake do these technicians cover?
The companies on this page are within driving distance of Wind Lake. Each one sets its own service area, so check the distance shown and confirm your address when you call.
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.
Is my dryer gas or electric?
A gas dryer has a gas pipe and shutoff valve behind it and plugs into a regular household outlet. An electric dryer plugs into a large 240-volt outlet and has no gas line. The rating label inside the door also says which it is.
Are you affiliated with any dryer brand?
No. We are an independent directory and are not affiliated with any appliance manufacturer. Our helpline connects you with a participating independent technician. If your dryer is still under manufacturer coverage, contact the brand first.
