Dryer repairs at your place
A dryer that stops heating or leaves clothes damp costs you time and power. Kobe comes to your home, finds the cause and repairs it.
He works on vented, condenser and heat pump dryers across Brisbane Northside and the Redlands, including Miele, Fisher & Paykel, Electrolux, Bosch and Ariston.
Many dryer problems start with lint and a blocked airflow. Kobe checks that first, then the heating and drive parts.

Common dryer faults Kobe fixes
Not heating or not drying properly
A failed heating element, a blown thermal fuse or a faulty thermostat or sensor are common causes. On heat pump models, a blocked heat exchanger can do it too. Kobe tests each part and replaces the one that has failed.
Takes too long to dry
Lint buildup in the filter, the vent or the condenser reduces airflow and stretches out the cycle. Kobe cleans the airflow path, then checks the heating and sensors if the problem remains.
Drum won't turn
A snapped drive belt, a worn belt tensioner or a failing motor will leave the drum still while the dryer runs. Kobe checks the belt and motor and replaces what is worn.
Loud squealing or thumping
Worn drum rollers, a stretched belt or a bad idler pulley cause most dryer noise. Kobe finds the source and replaces the worn parts.
Water in the tray or on the floor
Condenser and heat pump dryers collect water in a tank or drain it through a hose. A full tank, a blocked drain line or a faulty pump can cause water to overflow. Kobe checks the whole drain path.
Stops mid cycle or won't start
The door switch, the control board or a tripped thermal cut-out can stop a cycle. Kobe tests them in turn and repairs the fault.
Quick checks before you book
These are safe to try and sometimes save you a call-out.
- Check the power is on at the wall and the plug is pushed in.
- Empty the lint filter and wipe it clean.
- Empty the water tank if your dryer has one.
- Make sure the door is fully closed and the load is not jammed against it.
- Note any error code or flashing light and the model number on the sticker.

Questions people ask
Why is my dryer running but not heating?
The usual causes are a failed heating element, a blown thermal fuse or a faulty thermostat. Kobe tests each one and replaces the part that has failed.
Do you repair heat pump dryers?
Yes. Kobe works on heat pump, condenser and vented dryers from the brands he mainly services. Tell him the brand and model when you call.
Can a blocked vent be a fire risk?
Lint buildup is a known cause of dryer overheating and fires. Clean the lint filter after every load. If you smell burning, stop using the dryer and switch it off at the wall.
Do you come to my home?
Yes. Kobe repairs dryers at your place across Brisbane Northside and the Redlands.
