Brands We Repair

Repair vs Replace

As a general rule, if the repair cost is more than about half the price of a new comparable unit, replacement is usually the better value. We’ll always give you an honest recommendation after the diagnostic, even if that means telling you a repair isn’t worth it.

Repair Usually Makes Sense When

The issue is a heating element, thermostat, or thermal fuse replacement (typically $120–$300), the dryer is relatively new, or it’s a high-end/stackable model that’s expensive to replace.

Replacement May Be Better When

It’s a motor repair ($200–$500+), the unit is older and has had repeated issues, or the repair cost approaches half the price of a new comparable dryer.
