Dryer Repair in Houston
We repair Kenmore and Kenmore Elite electric and gas dryers. When loads come out wet, the drum quits or the cycle ends early, we check venting, heat and the drive system in the order that rules things out fastest.

Kenmore dryers have been built on several platforms, and the first digits of the model number show which. A prefix of 110. means a Whirlpool-built dryer, while 796. means LG-built, and the two differ in how they test heat, report problems and mount parts. That is why we read the label before we diagnose.
In Houston, dryers often sit in closets or garages with long, bent vent runs, and lint plus humidity make those runs prone to blockage. A vent that is partly crushed behind the dryer or capped by a damp screen forces the heating system to cycle on and off and shortens its life.
We check the lint screen and housing, the exhaust path and airflow, the heating element or burner, the thermal parts that can trip, and the drum rollers, belt and motor. Because a clogged vent can mimic a failed heater, we measure first and then tell you which part, if any, needs replacing.

Why do my clothes take two cycles to dry?
A restricted vent is the usual cause, with a weakening heating part or a packed lint housing next. We measure airflow at the vent before judging the dryer itself.
Is a gas dryer different from an electric one for repairs?
Yes. A gas dryer uses a burner and igniter, while an electric dryer uses a heating element and its own power supply. We confirm the type and the platform from the label before testing, and we handle gas connections with care.
How often does the vent need cleaning?
There is no single number, since it depends on the length of the run, how much laundry you do and what the vent is made of. If drying times grow or the laundry room feels hot, have the vent checked.
