An hour in, and the towels are still damp. Maybe the drum turns but no heat arrives. Maybe it won't start at all, just a click. Dryers fail in pieces: thermal fuses, igniters, belts, rollers, and thermostats. We test each one instead of guessing. Kenosha basements make this trickier, since long vent runs and tight corners hold lint and slow airflow. We check that path too, because a good part in a blocked dryer still runs hot. Tell us gas or electric when you call us, or note it on the quote form.

We cover Kenosha ZIPs like 53140, 53142, and 53143, plus nearby Pleasant Prairie, Mount Pleasant, and Racine.
Airflow, almost always. Lint packs the duct, the vent hood flap sticks, or a long basement run sags and collects moisture. Weak heat from a partially failed element does it too. We measure temperature rise and airflow to tell the two apart.
Treat it that way. Stop the dryer, unplug it or shut the gas valve, and clear the lint screen area. Lint scorching against a hot element is a fire risk. Call us and let us inspect the cabinet and duct before you run another load.
Yes. Gas units bring igniters, flame sensors, and valve coils into the picture; electric units use elements and high-limit thermostats. Both share the same drum, belt, roller, and vent problems. Tell us which you have when you call so we load the right parts.
That pattern usually means a thermal cutoff or high-limit thermostat is opening on overheat, then resetting as things cool. The root cause is nearly always restricted airflow. Replacing the switch without clearing the vent just repeats the failure a week later.
Call us and we'll walk through your schedule. We book by window, not a vague all-day wait, and we ring you before the van pulls up. If a freezer is thawing or a leak is soaking a basement floor, say so on the call so we can prioritize it.
Call us or fill out the form. Describe the noise, the smell, the error code, the puddle. We ask about the brand and rough age so the van carries likely parts.
Our technician tests the machine instead of guessing. Water lines, heating elements, drain pumps, control boards. Then we explain what failed, in plain words, before any wrench turns.
Common parts ride with us, so many repairs finish that visit. Special-order parts get scheduled promptly. We run the cycle with you watching, then haul off the old part and packaging.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
