Typical dryer repair prices in Gatineau

These are the ranges we see most often, parts and labour included, for the common brands (Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, GE, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Bosch). Your exact price is confirmed in the quote after the diagnosis.

Repair	Typical price (parts + labour)	Symptom it fixes
Drive belt	typically $130–$250	Motor runs, drum does not turn
Thermal fuse or cycling thermostat	typically $130–$280	Runs but no heat; stops mid-cycle
Drum rollers or idler pulley	typically $150–$300	Thumping, squealing, grinding
Heating element (electric)	typically $200–$400	No heat, drum turns
Igniter or gas valve (gas)	typically $200–$380	Gas dryer clicks or lights briefly, no heat
Drive motor	typically $250–$450	Hums and will not start; stops when hot
Control board	typically $200–$400	Dead panel, error codes, will not start

Vent cleaning is checked on every no-heat and slow-drying call, because a restricted vent is the reason most thermal fuses blow and the number one dryer fire risk. Where the vent run is accessible, clearing it is part of the visit.

Gatineau, Hull, Aylmer, Buckingham and Masson-Angers are inside the standard service area. Addresses more than 30 km from downtown Ottawa may carry a travel charge, confirmed when you book.
3-month warranty on parts and labour on every repair.

What moves the price up or down

The part that failed is the biggest factor: a $20 thermal fuse and a $200 motor are both “dryer not working” until the diagnosis. Electric or gas matters because gas dryers involve the igniter, gas valve and certified handling, which is reflected in the $129 diagnostic. Brand and model matter less than people expect; a Samsung element and a Whirlpool element are similar money, though some European and premium models use dearer parts. Access matters a little: a stacked unit in a closet takes longer to open than a freestanding dryer in a basement. Age matters for whether we recommend the repair at all, not for the price of it.

Repair or replace? The quick math

A $180 belt or thermal-fuse repair on a $1,000 dryer is easy math. A $400 motor on a fourteen-year-old dryer is worth a conversation, and we have it with you before the work starts. The rule of thumb: if the dryer is under ten years old and the repair is under half the replacement cost, repair. Our repair or replace a dryer guide has the full decision table by age and fault, and appliance installation in Gatineau covers the install if you go new.

The symptom tells us the price bracket

Runs but no heat: low-to-mid bracket (fuse, thermostat, element or igniter). See dryer not heating in Gatineau. Takes two cycles: usually the vent, low bracket. See dryer takes too long. Drum will not turn: belt or rollers, low-to-mid bracket. See dryer not spinning. Noise: rollers, pulley or blower, mid bracket. See dryer making noise. Dead panel: board, mid-to-high bracket. Hums, will not start: motor, high bracket.

How to pay less for a dryer repair

Clean the lint screen every load and the vent every year. Restricted airflow is behind most fuse, thermostat and element failures, and it makes every cycle longer.
Do not run it once it starts squealing. A worn roller is cheap; a roller that has worn into the drum is not.
Have the model number ready (inside the door) when you book, so the technician brings the right element or igniter and finishes in one visit.
Tell us if it is gas. The gas call is priced and equipped differently.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to repair a dryer in Gatineau?

Most dryer repairs typically range from about $130 to $350 including parts and labour, with motor or control-board repairs running higher. The service call is $89 + tax residential ($129 + tax commercial, $129 + tax for gas) and the repair is quoted firmly on top of that before work begins.

Is the service call a separate charge from the repair?

The $89 + tax residential service call ($129 + tax commercial) covers the diagnosis and your repair quote. The repair price for parts and labour is quoted separately and you approve it before any work starts.

Why is a gas dryer more to diagnose?

Gas dryers involve the igniter, gas valve and certified handling, so the gas service call is $129 + tax versus $89 + tax for electric. The leak test and burner check are part of the visit.

Do you charge more to come to Gatineau, Hull or Aylmer?

No. Gatineau is inside our standard service area at the same rates as Ottawa.

Is it worth repairing a dryer that is over ten years old?

Often yes, because dryers are simple and long-lived. A fuse, belt or element on a twelve-year-old dryer is usually still good value; a motor plus a board on the same dryer usually is not. We tell you which before you decide.

Can you fix it the same day?

Same-day service is available across Gatineau and Ottawa when scheduling allows, and common dryer parts are on the truck, so most repairs finish in one visit.
