Short answer
B&M Canada Appliances provides dryer repair across Carleton Place and Beckwith for dryers that won’t heat, need three cycles for a load, won’t tumble, grind or shut off early. Gas models are handled by TSSA-certified technicians. Carleton Place is on Highway 7, past our 30 km core zone around downtown Ottawa, so a travel charge may apply; ask about it when you book.

02Growing town
New subdivisions and mill-town homes
Carleton Place has grown quickly along Highway 7. Many homes in the new subdivisions bought their dryers in the same few years, and those machines are now failing outside warranty, while the mill-town century homes downtown keep older machines working in tighter spaces, where a dryer pushed hard against the wall can crush its own duct.
If your dryer is only a few years old, check whether the manufacturer’s warranty still covers it before booking. Once it is out of warranty, the usual first failures are the parts that wear with use (belt, rollers, idler and door switch) and, on newer models, the moisture sensor bars and the control board. If the display shows a code, note it when you book.
03Symptoms
Carleton Place dryer problems, explained
| What you notice | Likely cause | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Tumbles, no heat | Element, thermal fuse or thermostat; igniter or valve coils on gas | The heat circuit, part by part, then the airflow |
| Loads stay damp | Lint-choked vent, crushed duct, blocked hood | Lint housing, blower wheel, flow at the outside hood |
| Hums, drum still | Broken belt or seized idler | Belt, idler pulley, rollers, motor |
| Squeal or thump | Worn rollers or glides | Roller shafts, glides, motor bearing |
| Stops early | Overheating or a sensor fault | Thermostats, moisture sensor, control |
Slow drying and overheating are linked: when lint restricts the exhaust, heat stays in the drum, the thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat cuts out, and the lint itself becomes a fire risk. That’s why the vent is part of every diagnosis. More detail in our guide to a dryer that takes too long.
04Gas and brands
Gas dryers and most major brands

How is travel to Carleton Place charged?
Carleton Place lies outside the 30 km radius we measure from downtown Ottawa, so a travel charge may be added; ask about it when you book.
My new-build dryer stopped working. Who should I call first?
If it’s still under the manufacturer’s warranty, check with the manufacturer first, since the repair may be covered. Once it’s out of warranty, we can diagnose and repair it.
What will I pay for a dryer visit in Carleton Place?
$89 + tax for an electric dryer diagnostic or $129 + tax for gas, and the fee counts toward the approved repair; a travel charge may also apply. Typical repairs land in the $140–$300 range all-in and are always quoted in writing before any work; see the dryer repair cost guide for prices by fault.
Can a crushed duct really stop a dryer from heating?
Indirectly, yes. When the duct is crushed, heat builds up inside the dryer until the thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat cuts the heat. Replacing the fuse alone won’t last; the duct has to be fixed too.
