Dryer repair cost in Ottawa

Dryer repair pricing depends on which component has failed, the price of that part for your make and model, and the labour needed to open the dryer and replace it. Your actual price is confirmed in writing after the technician diagnoses the fault, and you approve it before any work starts.

• Usually smaller jobs: a drive belt, a thermal fuse or a cycling thermostat.
• In between: drum rollers or an idler pulley.
• Usually bigger jobs: a heating element (electric), an igniter or gas valve (gas), a drive motor or a control board.

Same-day visits are possible when the schedule allows, and many dryer repairs are finished in a single visit. If your dryer won’t turn or won’t heat, our dryer not spinning Ottawa and dryer not heating Ottawa pages explain those faults.

Every repair starts with a transparent diagnosis. There are no surprise charges: you know the price before we begin.

An electric dryer service call is $89 + tax and covers a full diagnosis and a clear written repair quote. A gas dryer service call is $129 + tax, because gas work requires certified handling (our gas work is TSSA-certified); commercial equipment is also $129 + tax. Every repair carries a 3-month warranty on parts and labour.

Visits between 9 PM and 7 AM add a $100 flat after-hours fee to regular rates. Jobs more than 30 km from downtown Ottawa may include travel charges.

The failed part is the biggest factor: a belt or thermal fuse is far cheaper than a motor or control board. Electric vs. gas matters too, because gas dryers involve the igniter, gas valve and certified handling, which is reflected in the $129 diagnostic.

Brand and model affect parts cost, and labour complexity varies: a thermal fuse is quick, while a motor or bearing job takes longer. A clogged vent often causes overheating faults, so we check airflow as part of the diagnosis; see dryer takes too long to dry for the vent side of the problem. Your written quote spells out exactly what’s involved.

Symptom and likely part

• No heat (electric): heating element, thermal fuse or cycling thermostat.
• No heat (gas): igniter, flame sensor or gas valve coil.
• Runs but the drum won’t turn: broken drive belt or worn idler pulley.
• Squealing or thumping: drum rollers, glides or idler pulley.
• Won’t start at all: door switch, thermal fuse, start circuit or control board.
• Takes two or three cycles to dry: usually a restricted vent rather than a failed part.

If the repair costs less than about half the price of a comparable new dryer and the unit is under roughly 8–10 years old, repair is usually the cheaper, smarter choice. A belt or thermal-fuse repair, one of the smaller jobs, on a dryer that would cost about $1,000 to replace is easy math. Replacement makes more sense when an older dryer needs a major motor repair and is showing other wear.

Honest pricing is the foundation of our business. The diagnosis identifies the exact fault, and you receive a clear written quote before any repair begins; no work happens without your approval. The diagnostic itself is a flat $89 + tax for a residential electric dryer.

Every repair is backed by a 3-month warranty on parts and labour, and you receive a written diagnostic report after the visit. If a repair genuinely isn’t worth it, we’ll tell you honestly rather than charge for work that won’t pay off. Because lint and vent issues are a common fire risk, we also flag airflow problems we spot during the visit.
