A dryer that runs cold or takes two cycles isn't just annoying — it's burning electricity and, if the vent is clogged, flirting with a fire risk. We fix gas and electric dryers across all five communities, usually in one visit.

Around here, dryer trouble has a local accent. Wind-blown shrub-steppe dust mixes with lint and packs vent runs tighter than in wetter climates — we see it constantly in Horn Rapids and out toward Finley, and in two-story Broadmoor-corridor homes where the vent run to the roof is long and full of elbows. A choked vent makes a healthy dryer look broken: long cycles, hot cabinet, clothes still damp. Part of our diagnosis is separating a true component failure — heating element, gas igniter, thermal fuse, drum roller, belt — from an airflow problem that would just kill the next part too.
We repair electric dryers, which dominate Tri-Cities homes thanks to cheap PUD hydro power, and gas models running on Cascade Natural Gas — igniters, coils, valves and flame sensors included. Stacked laundry-closet units in newer Badger Mountain South and Sagecrest builds are no problem; we bring what's needed to pull and reset them safely.
Typical completed dryer repairs run $149–$289. You'll get the exact flat quote after the 20-minute diagnosis, and the $89 service call folds into it the moment you approve the work.
On electric models it's usually the heating element or a blown thermal fuse; on gas, the igniter or gas coils. But we always check vent airflow first — in the Tri-Cities, a lint-and-dust-packed duct causes the same symptom and will kill a brand-new element within months if it isn't cleared.
Worth fixing, usually. Squeals and thumps typically come from drum rollers, the idler pulley or a worn belt — inexpensive parts on most brands. Caught early, it's a routine repair; ignored for months, a seized roller can scorch the drum and change the math.
Both. Electric is the Tri-Cities default, but plenty of homes in Pasco's newer subdivisions and across Kennewick run gas dryers. We service igniters, flame sensors, gas valves and coils, and we leak-check every gas connection before we leave.
Dryer sheets and hard-water film coat the sensor bars over time, so the machine thinks the load is dry and quits. Sometimes it's a cleaning; sometimes the sensor itself has failed. We test rather than guess — it's a quick check during the same $89 diagnosis.
Yes. Stacked sets in laundry closets — common in newer Richland and West Richland builds — just take a little more care to pull out and reset. There's no extra charge for the wrestling match; it's part of the job.
A clogged dryer vent can add 15–20 minutes to every load — in a Tri-Cities dust season, that's often the whole problem, not the dryer itself.Did You Know · Dryer Repair
