Gas Dryer Repair

Repairing Gas Dryers

Gas dryers heat clothes with a gas burner assembly controlled by an igniter and gas valve solenoid coils, rather than an electric heating element. San Marcos Appliance Repair services gas dryers from Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Maytag, and Kenmore, addressing failures in the gas valve coils, igniter, flame sensor, drive belt, and motor. A weak or failed igniter is the most frequent cause of a no-heat complaint: it glows to open the gas valve, and once it can no longer reach ignition temperature, the burner never lights. Failed gas valve solenoid coils keep the valve closed even when the igniter fires correctly, while a faulty flame sensor shuts off the burner prematurely, producing short, cool cycles. A worn drive belt or failing motor causes drum problems identical to those on electric models, since both share the same drive system.

How San Marcos Appliance Repair Fixes It

A technician tests the igniter, gas valve coils, flame sensor, drive belt, and motor on-site, along with the gas supply connection, to isolate the exact point of failure before starting repairs. San Marcos Appliance Repair carries common replacement parts for Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Maytag, and Kenmore gas dryers, so most repairs are completed in a single visit. Every completed repair is backed by a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Same-day appointments are available seven days a week across San Marcos and North San Diego County.

Diagnosed by Certified Technicians

Before testing the gas valve coils, igniter, flame sensor, drive belt, and motor, the technician assigned to this repair has already completed NASTeC certification in appliance service and repair and trained through MiraCosta College's Technology Career Institute or San Diego College of Continuing Education (SDCCE) under founder and Master Appliance Repair Technician Francisco Ortega, who has run San Marcos Appliance Repair since 2006. Formal certification plus hands-on training backs the 90-day parts-and-labor warranty on every gas dryer repair, backed by our licensed and insured guarantee.
