Short answer

Our dryer repair service in Gatineau covers gas and electric models of every brand, in Hull, Aylmer, Buckingham, Masson-Angers and across the Outaouais. A dryer that tumbles without heat usually has a blown thermal fuse, an open element or, on gas models, a worn igniter; a dryer that takes two cycles usually has a restricted vent. The residential diagnostic is $89 + tax and is applied toward the repair you approve.

Safe checks first

Five minutes that sometimes save a visit, and always make it faster. Skip anything you are not comfortable doing.

Stop using it if you notice

  • Burning smell or smoke
  • Cabinet too hot to touch
  • Gas smell near a gas dryer

For smoke or an overheated cabinet, switch the dryer off and unplug it; for a gas smell, touch no switches or plugs, leave the home and call Gazifère or 911 from outside. Then call 613-301-0016.

04Common problems

Dryer problems we fix in Gatineau

Won’t heat (cold air only)

Electric: a burned-out heating element, a tripped thermal fuse (the most common) or a failed high-limit thermostat. Gas: a failed igniter, gas valve coil or flame sensor. We test all the safeties on site. See dryer not heating in Gatineau.

Takes two cycles to dry

The leading cause across all brands is a blocked vent: the lint trap, the vent hose behind the machine or the exterior vent hood. Next comes a weak blower. We check the vent end to end as part of the diagnostic.

Drum not turning

A broken drive belt (a quick swap on most models), a failed motor or a seized idler pulley.

Loud squealing, thumping or grinding

Worn drum rollers, glides or bearings. We rebuild the drum support on site, usually in the same visit when the parts are common.

Stops mid-cycle

Overheating from a blocked vent (the dryer is protecting itself), a failed cycling thermostat or a moisture-sensor problem. We trace it back to the root cause.

Burning smell: stop using the dryer. Lint building up near the heater is a fire risk. After-hours visits between 9 PM and 7 AM carry a $100 flat fee on top of the regular service call; see emergency appliance repair.

05Gas dryers

Gas dryer repair on the Quebec side

Instead of an element, a gas dryer relies on an igniter, a flame sensor and gas valve coils, and each of them can fail on its own. Tired coils give a classic pattern, heating for a few minutes and then running cold for the rest of the cycle. The gas dryer diagnostic is $129 + tax, and gas appliance service in Gatineau is confirmed when you book, so mention in your request that the dryer is gas. Our gas dryer repair page explains each part in detail.

06Brands and types

Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Bosch, Electrolux, Kenmore, Speed Queen, Miele, Inglis, Amana and Blomberg.

07Typical costs

What dryer repair costs in Gatineau

The service call is $89 + tax residential and $129 + tax for gas dryers and commercial accounts, and it is applied toward the repair you approve.

09Same job, many names

Dryer, clothes dryer, tumble dryer or sécheuse

Some people search for dryer repair, others for clothes dryer repair, a dryer technician, a dryer repairman or simply “who fixes dryers near me”; French speakers often type réparation de sécheuse. It all describes one service: a bilingual visit at the published diagnostic rates, backed by the 3-month repair warranty, whether you live in Hull, Aylmer, Buckingham or Masson-Angers.

Questions, answered

Something else? Call and ask.

613-301-0016
Why does my dryer run but not heat?

The drum and the heat are separate systems. A blown thermal fuse, an open element, a failed thermostat or, on gas, a worn igniter stops the heat while the motor keeps turning. Many are fixed on the first visit when the part is a common one.

How much does dryer repair cost in Gatineau?

The service call is $89 + tax residential ($129 + tax for gas or commercial) and is applied toward the repair. Most repairs run $180 to $450 plus parts; a motor or control board runs higher.

My dryer takes forever to dry. Is it the dryer or the vent?

Usually the vent. We check the whole vent run on every call, because a restricted vent is also a fire risk, and replace heating parts only when they have actually failed.

Do you repair gas dryers in Gatineau?

Yes, at the $129 + tax gas diagnostic rate. Gas appliance service is confirmed when you book; tell us the make and model in your request.

Can you come the same day to Hull or Aylmer?

When the schedule allows, yes. Both are inside our standard service area, and the arrival window (about three hours) is confirmed by call or text.

Do you charge extra to come to Gatineau from Ottawa?

No. Gatineau, Hull and Aylmer are within 30 km of downtown Ottawa, so the same $89 + tax residential rate applies with no travel charge.
