Gas dryer repair & diagnosis · NoVA & DC Area

Gas Dryer Repair in Northern Virginia & the DC Area

When a gas dryer stops heating, the cause is often on the gas train — the igniter, gas valve coils, or flame sensor — or it can be a mechanical or airflow problem like a worn drum roller, failed blower, clogged vent, or a tripped thermal fuse. Dryer Repair Medic diagnoses all of it. We self-perform every repair that doesn't require a gas license: drum components, belts, bearings, blower wheels, thermostats, thermal fuses, motors, venting, and 240V electrical parts. Gas fitting is a licensed trade in Virginia, so anything on the gas valve, burner, or gas line is handled by our sister company, Capital Gas Fireplace Repair — a Virginia-licensed gas fitter — usually coordinated in the same visit. One call, an honest diagnosis, and the right qualified hands on every part of the repair. Flat $49 diagnostic, credited toward your repair, across Northern Virginia, DC, and the Bethesda–Potomac area.

What we cover

  • Won't heat / won't ignite

    Runs but stays cold. We diagnose the cause — igniter, gas valve coil, flame sensor, thermostat, or airflow — and repair it or coordinate the licensed gas-side fix.

  • Ignites then goes out

    Heats briefly then quits mid-cycle, often a weak flame sensor or coil. We pinpoint it and get the right hands on the repair.

  • Erratic or intermittent heat

    Heats some loads, not others. Usually a failing coil, sensor, or thermostat — we diagnose which.

  • Won't start or won't tumble

    No power, no spin, or a dead drum. Motor, belt, switch, or thermal fuse — these we repair directly, same day.

  • Noise: squealing, thumping, grinding

    Worn rollers, bearings, belt, or blower. Classic mechanical wear, fully in our wheelhouse and repaired on-site.
