(469) 638-3215Dryer not heating, taking forever to dry or shutting off mid-cycle? ALAS Appliance Repair fixes gas and electric dryers and cleans dryer vents across Colleyville, from the Village at Colleyville and the SH 26 corridor to Montclair Parc, Ross Downs Estates and Whittier Heights.
Business Profile

Montclair Parc, the guard-gated community built around four tiered lakes, has homes that average more than 7,000 square feet, and houses that size often place the laundry room well away from an exterior wall. The longer the duct, the harder the blower works and the faster lint packs into elbows. A dryer that takes two cycles to finish, runs hot to the touch or trips its thermal fuse is often reacting to the vent rather than failing on its own.
Gas and electric dryers are both common in Colleyville, and the fixes differ. Electric models usually stop heating because of a thermal fuse, element or cycling thermostat, while gas models tend to lose an igniter or gas valve coil. Any gas odor means shutting the dryer off, getting out of the room and phoning the gas utility, and gas line or valve repairs are for a technician only. On the electric side, 240 volts reaches the terminal block, so keep the cabinet closed while the cord is connected. A clean lint screen comes first.
Our Plano-based technicians cover Colleyville from the Village at Colleyville and the Colleyville Boulevard, Glade Road and Hall-Johnson Road corridors to Montclair Parc, Ross Downs Estates, Highland Meadows, Whittier Heights and the Reserve at Colleyville.
Common dryer problems
The dryer problems we see most often, and the parts a technician checks first for each one.
| Symptom | Common causes a technician checks | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Dryer runs but won’t heat | Electric: failed heating element, blown thermal fuse, bad thermostat or one side of the breaker tripped. Gas: failed igniter, gas valve coils or flame sensor | Electric dryers use a double breaker. Reset it fully. On gas dryers, make sure the gas valve behind the dryer is open.Possible causes a technician checks: Electric: failed heating element, blown thermal fuse, bad thermostat or one side of the breaker tripped. Gas: failed igniter, gas valve coils or flame sensor Schedule a diagnosis |
| Takes too long to dry | Clogged lint screen or vent, crushed vent hose, weak heating element, faulty moisture sensor | Clean the lint screen and feel for strong airflow at the outside vent hood. Weak airflow usually means the vent needs cleaning.Possible causes a technician checks: Clogged lint screen or vent, crushed vent hose, weak heating element, faulty moisture sensor Schedule a diagnosis |
| Drum won’t turn | Broken drive belt, worn idler pulley, failed motor, faulty door switch | If the motor hums but the drum doesn’t move, the belt has likely broken. Stop running the dryer.Possible causes a technician checks: Broken drive belt, worn idler pulley, failed motor, faulty door switch Schedule a diagnosis |
| Dryer won’t start | Faulty door switch, blown thermal fuse, failed start switch or control board, tripped breaker | Check the breaker, close the door firmly and make sure the control lock is off.Possible causes a technician checks: Faulty door switch, blown thermal fuse, failed start switch or control board, tripped breaker Schedule a diagnosis |

Urgent repair
Failure to clean lint is the leading cause of home dryer fires, according to the NFPA. If your dryer smells like it is burning or gets too hot to touch, stop using it. If you smell gas, leave the home first. After-hours emergency service is available for an added fee in Colleyville.

Run the dryer and check the roof cap from the ground if you can see it. A cap with no visible lint flow, a flap stuck shut or a bird nest are all signs of trouble. Indoors, longer drying times and a laundry room that feels hot are common clues. Roof vents are best cleaned from both ends, and a technician can test airflow after the repair.
Yes. Larger Colleyville homes sometimes have a main laundry room plus a second set of machines near the bedrooms or a pool bath. Tell us which dryer is acting up, whether it is gas or electric, and the brand and model if you have them. If both dryers have the same symptom, the cause may be a shared gas supply or electrical issue.
Yes. For gated communities such as Montclair Parc and Oak Pointe, add our visit to your guest list or share the gate instructions when you book. Telling us which entrance to use and any parking rules helps the technician arrive without delay. We only need access to the laundry area and a clear path to it.
