(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 Trophy Club, from Trophy Club Plaza and the SH 114 corridor to Hogan’s Glen, Eagles Ridge and The Highlands.
Business Profile

Dryer repair in Trophy Club depends a lot on the vent route. Larger two-story homes in Eagles Ridge and The Highlands, many between about 3,400 and 4,500 square feet in recent listings, often place the laundry room well inside the floor plan, so the duct runs through walls and sometimes up to the roof. A long duct traps lint, raises operating temperature and stretches drying times until the thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat trips and the dryer quits heating.
Fuel type varies across town. Many Highlands and Hogan’s Glen homes list natural gas for heating, and gas dryer hookups are common in homes of that era, while at least one 1979 Oak Hill home was listed with all-electric heat. Check which type you have before calling. If you smell gas, get everyone out and phone the gas company once you are outside. Gas valve work and testing inside a 240-volt electric dryer both belong with a technician.
Our Plano-based technicians cover Trophy Club from Trophy Club Plaza and the State Highway 114 and Trophy Club Drive corridors to the original sections around the country club, Hogan’s Glen, Eagles Ridge, The Highlands and the Trophy Club Park area.
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 |

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 Trophy Club.

With the dryer running, go outside and check the vent hood. If the flap barely lifts or the air feels weak, the duct is likely restricted. Also notice whether the laundry room gets unusually warm or a normal load needs two cycles. Those signs point to airflow. If airflow is strong and the dryer still runs cold, the heating system needs a look.
Yes. Tell us the gate procedure when you book, whether that is a code, a call box or adding the visit to a guest list, so the technician can get in without delay. Let us know where the dryer sits and whether the vent exits through a wall or the roof, which helps us plan the visit.
A squeal often points to a worn drum roller, idler pulley or glide, and a thump may mean a roller has worn flat or something loose is tumbling in the drum. These parts wear with heavy family use. It is usually safe for a short time, but a failing idler pulley can break the belt, so it is worth scheduling a repair soon.
