I noticed my refrigerator not cooling properly on a Friday night and was panicking about the food. These guys saved the day! They sent a technician to my home in Sherman Oaks first thing Saturday morning. He was super efficient and got it cooling again in no time. Best appliance repair experience I've had!

Common Dryer Problems We Fix in Sherman Oaks
✅ Dryer Is Not Heating This is our most frequent service call. Whether it’s an electric dryer with a burnt-out heating element or a gas dryer with a failed igniter or radiant sensor, we carry the necessary parts to restore heat in a single visit. ✅ Dryer Spins But Won’t Dry: If your dryer is running but your clothes are still damp after a full cycle, you likely have an airflow restriction or a faulty high-limit thermostat. We don’t just fix the part; we check your internal venting to ensure the hot air can actually escape. ✅ Squeaking, Thumping, or Loud Noises Over time, drum rollers, idler pulleys, and drive belts wear out. If your dryer sounds like a freight train, we can replace these wear-and-tear parts to make your laundry room quiet again. ✅ Dryer Won’t Start or Spin If the lights are on but the drum won't turn, you might have a broken drive belt, a faulty door switch, or a blown thermal fuse. We’ll quickly diagnose whether it’s a simple fuse replacement or a more complex motor issue. ✅ Excessive Heat (Burning Smell) An overheating dryer is a major fire hazard. If your unit is too hot to touch or emits a burning odor, it’s often due to clogged internal ducts or a malfunctioning cycling thermostat. We prioritize these calls to keep your Sherman Oaks home safe. ✅ Shuts Off Unexpectedly If your dryer starts and then dies after a few minutes, the motor might be overheating or the main control board could be failing. Our diagnostic tools pinpoint the exact electronic or mechanical fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
My electric dryer isn't heating. What are common causes?
In most electric dryers, the lack of heat is caused by a burnt-out heating element, a tripped thermal fuse, or a faulty thermostat. It can also be a sign of a bad power connection (tripped circuit breaker). Our Sherman Oaks technicians carry these parts in their vans and can test your heating circuit to find the exact component that needs replacement on the same day.
What are the common causes of a dryer not spinning?
If you hear the motor running but the drum isn't moving, the most common culprit is a broken drive belt. Other causes include a seized drum roller, a worn idler pulley, or a failed motor. In stackable units, this repair requires a specialized approach, which our licensed team handles daily in the Sherman Oaks area.
How much does a typical dryer repair cost for a major issue?
The cost of repair depends on the part and the brand. For example, replacing a thermal fuse or a belt is very affordable, while a new motor or control board can be more significant. However, even a "major" repair is usually 50% cheaper than buying a new high-end dryer. We provide a transparent quote after the $65 diagnostic, which is waived if you proceed with the fix.
How often should I have my dryer professionally maintained and cleaned?
For most households in Sherman Oaks, we recommend a professional internal cleaning once a year. Even if you clean the lint filter every time, lint still accumulates inside the cabinet, around the motor, and near the heating element. A yearly maintenance check by IP Tech Appliance Repair not only prevents fire hazards but also extends the lifespan of your dryer's motor and heating components.
What does a 'd90' or 'Flow Sense' error mean on my dryer?
This is one of the most common calls we get in Sherman Oaks. It indicates that your dryer vent is 90% blocked. This forces the dryer to overheat and can blow the thermal fuse. We can clear the internal blockage and inspect your system to prevent a fire hazard and get your dryer back to 100% efficiency.
