Dryer repair costs can range anywhere from $50 to $450. With such a wide range, it can be difficult to determine how much money you need to get your dryer running again.
Depending on your dryer’s age and your budget, determining how much repairs cost will help you plan your repairs and laundry needs. In this Santa Rosa Beach dryer repair guide, you’ll learn the basics of figuring out your repair needs and estimating costs.
When to Repair vs. When to Replace
It may surprise you to learn that, like us, appliances also have lifespans. For a dryer, that lifespan is around 10-13 years. So, if you have had your dryer for less than about 8 years, the cost to repair it may be worth the next few years you’ll use it for.
Determining What Needs Replacing
Your dryer repair cost will depend on a few factors, one of which is answering the age-old question: What’s wrong? The dryer drum is by far the most expensive part to replace while something like a belt is cheaper.
Identify what’s wrong with your dryer by identifying the problems you’re facing.
A drum that won’t turn means you may have a belt problem. A running dryer that produces wet clothes may have issues with its heating element. A drum that won’t turn means you may have a belt or motor issue.
Dryer Repair Costs
Now that you know what is wrong with your dryer, you can begin the process of estimating the repair costs.
To ensure your safety and the quality of repairs, we recommend leaving this task to the professionals. Labor costs on dryer repairs range depending on the job and the shop, but the total cost rarely exceeds $400.
However, on average dryer repair costs land around $180. This average represents a range of costs depending on your issue.
