What the listings say about dryer repair in Texas

Counted from the 27 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.

Texas holds 27 listed dryer repair businesses, out of 674 nationwide. That is the largest count of the 50 states with any, ahead of Florida on 26. They are 27 of the 58 businesses listed in Texas — 47% of the state directory.

Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 674 listed nationwide, and 23 of the 27 sit at 4.5 or better. 2 hold a straight 5.0, and 1 sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 4,444 reviews, the largest single tally being 914 on Appliance Rescue Service in Addison. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.

By review volume the group is led by Appliance Rescue Service in Addison (914 reviews, 4.9), ABA Appliance Repair, Inc. in Austin (589 reviews, 4.2) and Tony Appliance Repair in Austin (429 reviews, 4.7). By rating it is A & G Appliances at 5.0 on 306 reviews, West Fix Appliance Repair at 5.0 on 103 reviews and Appliance Rescue Service at 4.9 on 914 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.

All 27 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 11 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 1 states a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 8 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. 1 of the 27 advertises 24/7 emergency callout, and 3 advertise same-day service. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.

14 of the 27 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1987, and the median across those that say is 14 years. Austin holds the most at 7 — 26% of the group — followed by Houston on 6, across 7 Texas cities with an index page. Between them they name 85 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

What Texas technicians find most often

The 5 most common dryer faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.

All 8 faults →

  • Tumbles but produces no heat at all

    Technician

    A blown thermal fuse — usually triggered by a restricted vent — or a failed heating element on an electric machine, or an igniter on a gas one.

    Step-by-step: Dryer Not Heating→

  • Heats but clothes take two or three cycles to dry

    Homeowner fix

    A crushed, kinked or lint-packed vent line, or a blocked exterior flap. Airflow, not heat, is the limiting factor.

    Step-by-step: Dryer Takes Too Long→

  • Loud rumbling, thumping, or a rhythmic squeal

    Technician

    Worn drum rollers, a failing idler pulley, or a glazed drive belt. All are wear parts and are usually replaced together.

    Step-by-step: Dryer Squealing or Thumping→

  • Will not start, no sound at all

    Technician

    The door switch, the start switch, or a thermal cut-off on the heater circuit. Door switches fail from thousands of open-close cycles.

    Step-by-step: Dryer Won't Start→

  • Cabinet or laundry room gets very hot during a cycle

    Technician

    The vent is discharging into the room, or the cycling thermostat has failed closed. Treat this as urgent — it is the classic pre-fire condition.

    Step-by-step: Dryer Takes Too Long→

10 published dryer guides. A diagnostic fee is $50–$100 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.

Keep the next call from happening

Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.

  • Clean the lint screen

    Every load

    Prevents: Restricted airflow, long cycles, and the heat build-up behind most failures.

  • Wash the lint screen with soapy water and a brush

    Every 6 months

    Prevents: The invisible fabric-softener film that blocks a screen that looks clean.

  • Disconnect and clean the full vent run and exterior hood

    Annually

    Prevents: Blown thermal fuses, two-cycle drying, and the leading cause of dryer fires.

What dryer repair costs in Texas

National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$100 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Texas sits toward the top of each range and rural calls toward the bottom, while the part costs about the same anywhere. Nothing here is a quote.

10–13 years. Dryers are mechanically simple and often outlast the washer they were bought with, provided the vent run is short, rigid, and cleaned annually. When replacing beats repairing covers the 4 cases where the maths turns, in full.

Dryer repair in Texas — common questions

How many dryer repair pros are listed in Texas?
27 businesses listed in Texas name dryer repair among the work they do — 47% of the 58 businesses this directory holds for the state, 1st of the 50 states with any, out of 674 listed nationwide — 4% of them. Austin accounts for 7 of them. The directory is a sample of the market, not a register of every company trading in Texas.
Which dryer repair companies are rated highest in Texas?
A & G Appliances in Houston at 5.0 on 306 reviews, West Fix Appliance Repair in Dallas at 5.0 on 103 reviews, Appliance Rescue Service in Addison at 4.9 on 914 reviews — that is the order the list on this page uses. The most-reviewed is different: Appliance Rescue Service in Addison, with 914 reviews at 4.9. Read both — a 5.0 on nine reviews and a 4.6 on four hundred are not the same claim.
How much does dryer repair cost in Texas?
Expect $100–$350 for a common dryer repair, parts and labor together, on top of a $50–$100 diagnostic fee that most companies credit against the work if you go ahead. Those are national bands, not Texas quotes: labor rates track local wages and drive time, so a dense metro sits at the top of each range and a rural call at the bottom, while the part itself costs about the same anywhere. Get written estimates from two or three of the 27 listed here before authorizing anything.
Which Texas city has the most dryer repair companies?
Austin, with 7 of the 27 — 26% of the group — followed by Houston on 6. 7 Texas cities in total have at least one.
Are dryer repair technicians licensed in Texas?
All 27 listed here state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. 11 also show a Better Business Bureau accreditation. Licensing for appliance repair is set state by state and sometimes by city or county, so the reliable check is the paperwork: ask which license the company works under, get the number, and confirm it with the issuing authority. Two requirements are national rather than local — sealed refrigerant work needs federal EPA Section 608 certification, and gas work needs a technician qualified for gas appliances.
Can I get same-day or emergency dryer repair in Texas?
1 of the 27 listed here advertises 24/7 emergency availability and carries a badge in the ranked list above. A further 3 advertise same-day service. Many of the others take same-day work for common faults without advertising it, so it is worth asking — especially early in the day, before the route is full.
Which dryer brands do Texas repair pros service?
The dryer pros listed in Texas name 28 distinct brands between them. The most widely covered are GE (27), Samsung (27), Whirlpool (27), Frigidaire (26), KitchenAid (26), LG (26). Dryer parts are among the most interchangeable in the trade, so brand rarely limits who can help — with one exception: heat-pump and condenser dryers from Bosch, Miele and LG use sealed refrigerant circuits and need a technician who explicitly services them.
How long have Texas dryer repair companies been in business?
14 of the 27 publish one. The longest-established has been trading since 1987, and the median across those that say is 14 years. 8 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the listing. Use it as one signal among several: what matters more is whether the technician has opened your platform before, and whether the warranty term is written on the invoice.
Should I repair or replace my dryer?
Apply the 50% rule. A new dryer averages $750 in the US and lasts about 12 years, so a repair quote over roughly $375 on a unit past 8 years old is usually money better spent on a replacement. Below that line, with life left on the clock, repair almost always wins. Ask for parts and labor as separate figures — it is normally the part, not the hours, that pushes a quote past the threshold.
What should I have ready before calling a dryer technician in Texas?
Gas or electric — this determines who is allowed to do the work. Whether the drum turns, whether it heats, or neither. How long the vent run is and when it was last cleaned. Having those three answers ready is what turns a diagnose-then-return-visit into a single trip. Worth knowing before you call: 5 of the 27 listed in Texas also offer cooktop repair and 3 offer appliance installation, which can be worth bundling into the same visit.
