In Richmond Hill's large family homes — from the established neighbourhoods of Mill Pond and North Richvale to the newer subdivisions of Oak Ridges and Jefferson — a broken dryer means laundry piling up for the whole household. Nika Appliance Repair dispatches certified technicians across all Richmond Hill areas, arriving within 2-4 hours, 7 days a week including evenings.
Richmond Hill detached homes typically have longer exhaust vent runs than high-density urban dwellings. Over time, lint accumulates in these extended ducts, restricting airflow — a leading cause of slow drying and a genuine fire hazard. We inspect and clear the full exhaust path on every service call, not just the dryer itself. Our technicians also understand the heavier use patterns of large Richmond Hill households and carry parts suited to high-capacity gas and electric dryers.
Typical dryer repairs in Richmond Hill run $150-$380, with the $119 diagnostic fee waived when you proceed. All repairs are backed by a 90-day parts and labour warranty.
From vent blockages to failed heating elements, our Richmond Hill technicians fix most dryer faults in a single visit.
Drum spins but clothes remain damp after a full cycle. A blown heating element or thermal fuse (electric dryers), or a faulty igniter or gas valve solenoid (gas dryers) are typical causes. We test and replace the failed component on-site within the same visit.
Richmond Hill's detached homes have longer vent paths than condos, making lint buildup more frequent and more dangerous. A blocked vent causes slow drying and is the leading residential dryer fire cause. We clear blockages and test airflow velocity on every call.
No response when you press start. A faulty door switch, blown thermal cutoff fuse, failed start relay, or bad control board are typical culprits. We test all relevant electrical components and replace only what's failed.
The motor runs, the dryer heats, but the drum won't rotate. A broken drum belt is the most common cause — usually from heavy, frequent loads common in large Richmond Hill households. We also check idler pulleys and drum glides.
Dryer runs briefly then cuts out, or clothes come out unusually hot. The high-limit thermostat tripped from restricted exhaust airflow. We clear the duct, replace thermostats, and ensure the dryer restarts safely before leaving.
Squealing, thumping, or rumbling noises during the cycle. Worn drum glides, failed drum bearing, or a broken idler pulley are typical causes. We disassemble and replace worn drum support components to restore quiet operation.
Our technicians are trained on all major dryer brands found across Richmond Hill's residential communities, from newer Samsung and LG sets to classic Whirlpool and Maytag models.
Transparent upfront pricing — we quote before we touch anything. Diagnostic fee ($119) waived when repair proceeds. All repairs include 90-day warranty.
