What a dryer is telling you.
Runs, tumbles, no heat
On an electric dryer this is the heating element, the thermal fuse, the high limit thermostat or the cycling thermostat, in roughly that order. On a gas dryer it is the igniter, the gas valve coils or the flame sensor: the igniter glows, the valve never opens, the burner never lights. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom as much as a fault, because it blows when the dryer overheats, and a dryer overheats when it cannot exhaust.
Takes two cycles, clothes come out damp and hot
Airflow. The vent run behind the wall, up through the roof or across a long crawl space is restricted, the lint trap housing is packed, or the blower wheel is loose. The dryer makes heat and cannot get rid of the moisture, so it runs long, cooks the clothes and stresses every part in the heat circuit. Fixing the vent fixes the dryer, and it removes a real fire risk.
Squeal, thump, scrape or no tumble
A squeal that starts a few minutes into the cycle is an idler pulley or a drum roller with a dry bearing. A thump on each rotation is a flat spot on a roller or a damaged belt. A scrape is a drum glide or a bearing letting the drum ride on the cabinet. A motor that hums and will not turn the drum has a broken belt or a seized roller. All of these are single visit repairs.

What people here ask before they call.
In Santa Clarita the diagnostic visit is $89, and the repair itself usually runs $140 to $380 depending on the part. Thermal fuses, thermostats, igniters, belts and drum rollers sit at the low end; a heating element, a gas valve coil set or a motor sits higher, and a control board is the top of the range. Nothing is billed beyond the diagnostic fee until you have approved a written quote. Call (888) 482-7007 with the symptom and we can usually tell you which end of the range you are in.
Usually, yes. Santa Clarita is inside our Los Angeles County dispatch area, and a dryer call slots into the same day's route more often than not. Most dryer repairs finish in that first visit because the parts that fail most often are carried; a motor or a board for a less common model is scheduled once the part is confirmed. One call to (888) 482-7007 gets a Santa Clarita time window in about a minute, and the price is in writing before any work.
Fuses and thermostats first, elements and igniters second, belts and rollers third; that is the order we see across Santa Clarita, and a motor is the only one that costs real money. Long cycles are their own group and they are almost always airflow: a lint-packed vent, a crushed duct behind the machine or a blocked outside flap, and the dryer overheats and shuts down on its fuse. A quick description over the phone at (888) 482-7007 usually narrows it to one or two parts before anyone arrives.
Count on twelve years or more, with the motor deciding the upper end and the fuses, elements, belts and rollers deciding how many small repairs you meet along the way. What shortens the life is heat it cannot get rid of: a lint-packed vent makes every cycle longer and hotter, and the fuse, the thermostat and eventually the element pay for it. Call (888) 482-7007; keeping a dryer running past a dozen years is mostly a matter of fixing the small parts when they go.
Almost always, yes. A dryer is one of the simplest appliances in the house, and the arithmetic in Santa Clarita is the same as everywhere: if the repair is under half the cost of a new machine, repair. We give you both numbers before you decide: the repair as quoted, and what a comparable replacement installed would run, so the choice is yours with the facts in front of you. Call (888) 482-7007 before you shop. A $89 diagnosis is the cheapest way to find out whether you need a new dryer or a new fuse.
