On the island
The rest of the lineup.
Same $99 diagnostic, same written quote, same warranty on every machine we fix.
A dryer that runs cold or takes two cycles is wasting power every day and, with a lint-choked vent, quietly inviting a fire. We fix gas and electric dryers across Johns Island, Kiawah, Seabrook, James Island and West Ashley — and we always read the airflow story behind the symptom.
Same $99 diagnostic, same written quote, same warranty on every machine we fix.
From our own invoices around the Sea Islands. Your exact flat quote comes after the $99 diagnostic.
| What you notice | What it usually is | How we fix it |
|---|---|---|
| Runs, no heat | Heating element, thermal fuse, or gas igniter / valve coils | Part replaced, vent checked so it doesn’t repeat |
| Takes two or three cycles | Restricted vent, weak element, or a failed moisture sensor | Vent cleared on site, sensor or element replaced |
| Won’t start at all | Door switch, start switch, thermal fuse or control board | Switch or fuse replaced; board only if it’s really the board |
| Drum won’t turn, motor hums | Broken belt, seized idler pulley or worn drum rollers | Belt and rollers replaced in one visit |
| Loud squeal or thump | Drum rollers, idler bearing, or a blower wheel out of balance | Bearings and rollers replaced, blower cleaned |
| Burnt smell | Lint on the element or a clogged exhaust path | Full lint clear-out and airflow test — treated as urgent |
Dryers fail in a short vocabulary: heat, airflow, drive, controls. Whether yours says it with a code on the display or just runs cold in silence, the diagnosis follows the same route — exhaust temperature, element resistance, fuse continuity, belt path — and ends in one written price with the $99 already inside it.
Around the Sea Islands the airflow half of that list matters more than most places. Coastal humidity makes lint pack into a dense felt that ordinary screens never catch, and the two-story plats on Johns Island and Kiawah run vents up through the structure to the roof. Half the “broken dryers” we see are actually suffocating vents — a cheaper fix than most people fear, and one we handle on the same visit rather than sending you to someone else.
Stacked pairs in villa closets, gas units in the newer subdivisions off Maybank Highway, veteran electric machines in the older River Road homes — all of it rides the same truck stock. Completed dryer repairs start from $205, $99 diagnostic included — and the number you approve is the number you pay.
Tell us the machine and the symptom. Same-week windows across the Sea Islands, often sooner.
The tech confirms the fault and writes one flat number. Approve it and the $99 becomes a credit.
The truck is stocked for the common faults, so most jobs finish the same visit. If a second visit is needed, there’s no second trip fee.
Full cycle run, area tidied, written warranty in your hand.
Describe the symptom and we’ll give you a realistic starting price over the phone — before anyone drives anywhere.
📞 Call (843) 969-4415Usually close to the starting price. Electric elements and thermal fuses, or gas igniters and valve coils, are predictable parts we stock — most no-heat jobs stay near the $205 starting point. The quote is written before the repair starts, with the $99 diagnostic already inside it.
Damp lint binds into felt that chokes the exhaust faster than in a dry climate, and long vent runs to the roof make it worse. We treat airflow as a first-class suspect on every dryer call and clear the vent on site when that’s the real story.
No. Stacked pairs are standard in Kiawah and Seabrook villas and newer Johns Island builds. We pull, service and re-stack them without extra charges — just mention the closet when you book so the schedule allows the extra minutes.
Same $99 diagnostic, same prices, same warranty. Electric dominates around here, but gas units are common in the newer subdivisions, and every gas job ends with a leak check as standard procedure.
Two minutes on the form and your repair is in the queue with a real time window. Prefer to talk? The phone is faster.
