When your dryer stops working in Markham, damp laundry piles up fast — especially in busy family homes in Unionville, Cornell, and Berczy Village. Nika Appliance Repair sends certified technicians across all Markham neighbourhoods within 2-4 hours, 7 days a week, including evenings to fit around your schedule.
Markham's newer builds and townhome communities commonly feature Samsung and LG heat pump or sensor-dry dryers paired with matching washer sets. Our technicians are specifically trained on these advanced platforms, diagnosing sensor-dry malfunctions, moisture sensor failures, and inverter motor faults that generic repair shops often misdiagnose. We carry OEM parts for the most popular models in our service vehicles.
A dryer that takes too long, runs but produces no heat, or stops mid-cycle is often a symptom of a blocked exhaust duct — a genuine fire hazard. We inspect and clear vent systems as part of every service call. Typical repairs run $150-$380, with the $119 diagnostic fee waived on repair. All work is covered by a 90-day warranty.
From no heat to error codes on smart dryers, our Markham technicians diagnose and fix most dryer faults in a single visit.
The drum spins but clothes stay damp. On electric dryers this usually means a blown heating element or failed thermal fuse. On gas dryers, a faulty igniter or gas valve solenoid is typical. We test and replace on-site — most resolved in under an hour.
Markham homes often have longer vent runs, especially in townhomes and semi-detached properties. Lint buildup in the exhaust duct is the most common cause of slow drying — and a fire risk. We clear vent blockages and inspect the full exhaust path.
Nothing happens when you press start. A faulty door latch, broken thermal fuse, failed start switch, or blown control board are typical causes. Our technicians test all electrical components and replace only what has failed.
The dryer runs and heats but the drum doesn't turn. A snapped drum belt is the most common cause — straightforward to replace. We also check idler pulleys and drum glides that wear out in large-capacity units popular in Markham homes.
Dryer runs for a few minutes then cuts out, or clothes come out scorching hot. A blocked lint filter or restricted exhaust duct causes the high-limit thermostat to trip. We clean the duct and replace thermostats to restore safe operation.
Samsung and LG smart dryers in Markham display codes like dE, HE, or FE before stopping. We use brand-specific diagnostic tools to decode faults in moisture sensors, temperature sensors, and control boards for accurate, first-visit fixes.
Our technicians are trained on all major dryer brands, with particular expertise in the Samsung and LG platforms most common across Markham's newer residential builds.

No. Slow drying is almost always caused by a restricted exhaust vent — a lint blockage or kinked duct reducing airflow. This also poses a fire risk. Markham townhomes and semis with longer duct runs are especially susceptible. We clear blockages and test airflow on every service call.
Yes. Heat pump dryers from Samsung, LG, Miele, and Bosch are becoming increasingly popular in Markham's energy-conscious community. We service heat pump refrigerant circuits, condenser coils, and evaporator sensors for these units.
