All Nineteen Winston-Salem Invoices, With the Part Named
Thirteen of our nineteen component repairs here name the part on the work order, which is a higher share than most cities we publish. So rather than a company average, here is what we actually charged in Winston-Salem, grouped by what the technician replaced.
Every figure is the part, the labor and the service call together – the number at the bottom of the bill. The company column shows where this city runs high and where it runs low.

Why Winston-Salem Dryer Work Looks the Way It Does
Five of thirteen named parts are the heat circuit ELEMENT OR HEATING WORK
Four heating elements plus one heating repair with maintenance, out of thirteen invoices that name a part. Company-wide we replace 360 elements against 43 vent clearances, and that ratio should run the other way round: a blocked or crushed vent traps heat, the cut-outs trip, and eventually the element gives way.
Our one Winston-Salem maintenance and service job came to $209, against elements at $289 to $359. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load, that is the point at which the vent is still the cheaper problem to have.
Samsung, Whirlpool and Maytag hold 19 of 25 branded jobs AND ALL FOUR ELEMENTS WERE MAYTAG OR SAMSUNG
Twenty-five of the 26 jobs name a brand: Samsung 7, Whirlpool 6, Maytag 6, then GE and LG on two each, one Kenmore and one Amana. Company-wide our dryer work runs Samsung 25.8 percent, Whirlpool 19.3, GE 17.4, Maytag 12.1 and LG 11.3 across 2,524 jobs – so Winston-Salem carries about half again as much Maytag and rather less GE.
Three of the four element jobs were Maytag and one was Samsung. For a household that matters mostly for parts: Whirlpool, Maytag and Samsung elements, belts and roller kits are commonly on the van or next-day. It is not a reliability ranking, and we will not present it as one – how often a brand appears reflects how many are installed nearby and who gets called to them.
Southeast and southwest carry the work 15 OF 26
27107 to the southeast has nine jobs and six component repairs, 27103 to the southwest six and six. After those: 27106 five, 27105 three, 27104 two, 27127 one. Every Winston-Salem work order we hold dates from March 2026, so these are current prices on current parts.
Two details are worth telling us when you book, because both change what the technician brings: whether the dryer is gas or electric, and whether it is stacked or a combination unit. Gas machines need valve and coil parts on the van, and a stacked pair takes a longer visit because both machines are assessed.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Tumbles but the clothes stay damp, or it takes two cycles – the heat circuit or the vent. Locally the element jobs were $289 to $359 and the maintenance job $209, against a Bozmanfix company median of $368 across 1,103 no-heat calls. This is the symptom where the vent is still worth ruling out, because clearing one costs less than the element it eventually destroys.
- No heat at all on an electric machine – the element, the thermal fuse at a company $332, or a cycling thermostat at $349. All four Winston-Salem element jobs came in under the company figure.
- No heat at all on a gas machine – the igniter, the gas valve or its coils. Our one local gas valve and coils job was $206, at the cheap end of everything on this page. Tell us it is a gas dryer at booking so the right parts are on the van.
- Loud rumbling, thumping or a squeal that follows the drum – drum rollers and the idler pulley, $329 and $349 locally against a company $349 across 227 repairs, or the belt at $322. The Bozmanfix company median for a noise call is $350 across 662 jobs. Two of our local invoices are roller-and-idler jobs.
- Drum will not turn but the motor hums – the drive belt, our cheapest named local repair at $250, or the idler. The Bozmanfix company median for a not-tumbling call is $341 across 432 jobs.
- Will not start at all, no lights, or dies mid-cycle – the door switch at a company $324, the thermal fuse, or the control board at $507. Winston-Salem has produced no control board job yet. The Bozmanfix company median for a not-starting call is $345 across 211 jobs.
- Shuts off after a few minutes – almost always a restricted vent tripping the high-limit cut-out rather than a failed part. Bozmanfix company median $380 across 61 jobs, and the cheapest outcome on the list when the vent turns out to be the whole story.

We also service KitchenAid, Bosch, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Speed Queen and Haier dryers here, gas and electric, freestanding and stacked. On a stacked washer-dryer the diagnostic is $150 rather than $99, because two machines share one cabinet and both have to be assessed to establish which one has failed.
Repair or Replace, in Winston-Salem Numbers
Dryers sit at the favorable end of this arithmetic and the local numbers make it plain. A new mid-range electric dryer is $500 to $900 fitted and a gas machine $600 to $1,100, with large-capacity and stacked units above that.
Against those figures, a $250 belt, a $289 element, a $329 roller kit or a $206 gas valve is between a quarter and a half of a replacement, and none of them touches the drum or the cabinet, which is what actually determines how long the machine lasts.
One repair is worth pausing over: a control board at a Bozmanfix company median of $507 on a machine already past twelve years. Winston-Salem has not produced one yet, and if it does we will set that figure next to a replacement quote at the assessment rather than after the back panel is off.
The other thing worth knowing is that a dryer which has had one element replaced and burns out a second within a couple of years usually has a vent problem rather than a machine problem, and that is a duct job rather than an appliance job.
Typical service lives are on how long dryers last, drying speed on dryer not drying fast, heat faults on dryer not heating, and the break-even arithmetic in the repair versus replacement guide.

Dryer Repair in Winston-Salem – Questions We Get
How much does dryer repair cost in Winston-Salem?
The Bozmanfix median is $315 once a part is fitted, from the Winston-Salem dryer repairs where a part went in, with the middle half between $269 and $359. By part, locally: gas valve and coils $206, maintenance and service $209, drive belt $250 and $342, rewiring $250, belt with idler pulley $289, heating elements $289, $309, $329 and $359, rollers with idler pulley $329 and $349, heating repair with maintenance $402.
Each figure includes the part, the labor and the service call. The Bozmanfix company-wide dryer median is $355 across 4,559 repairs. The diagnostic itself is $99, or $150 on a stacked unit.
Why are your Winston-Salem prices lower than your Greensboro prices?
It shows up in one component. Our four Winston-Salem heating element jobs came in at $289, $309, $329 and $359, all below the Bozmanfix company median of $362. The three Greensboro element jobs were $380, $391 and $439, all above it. Belts and rollers here also sit at or under the company figures.
The labor rate and the $99 diagnostic are identical in both cities, so the difference is in the machines and the work each job actually needed, not in the pricing.
My dryer runs but the clothes are still damp. What is that?
Either the heat circuit or the vent, and it is worth knowing that both produce the same complaint. On the heat side it is usually the element on an electric machine, at $289 to $359 locally, or a thermostat at a company $349.
On the vent side, a restricted or crushed duct traps heat, trips the cut-outs and eventually destroys the element – our one local maintenance and service job was $209.
Company-wide we replace 360 elements against 43 vent clearances, which tells you which of the two gets caught late.
Do you work on gas dryers in Winston-Salem?
Yes, gas and electric both. Our one local gas job replaced the gas valve and its coils and came to $206, the cheapest named repair in this city. Tell us at booking that the machine is gas, because the valve and coil parts are then on the van rather than ordered after the visit.
If you smell gas at any point, do not operate switches – leave the property and call your gas utility emergency line from outside first.
It is making a loud rumbling noise. Is that expensive?
It is usually one of the cheaper dryer repairs. Rumbling, thumping or a squeal that follows the drum is nearly always the drum rollers and the idler pulley, and Winston-Salem produced two of those at $329 and $349, against a Bozmanfix company median of $349 across 227 repairs. A worn belt at $322 company-wide gives a similar noise.
The Bozmanfix company median for a noise call as a whole is $350 across 662 jobs. It is worth attending to rather than living with, because a seized roller will eventually take the belt with it.
Which dryer brands do you service here?
The local Bozmanfix book names Samsung seven times, Whirlpool and Maytag six each, GE and LG twice each, and one Kenmore and one Amana, out of 25 branded jobs in 26. We also service KitchenAid, Bosch, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Speed Queen and Haier. Winston-Salem carries about half again as much Maytag as our company-wide dryer book and rather less GE.
Where that matters to you is parts: Whirlpool, Maytag and Samsung elements, belts and roller kits are commonly on the van or next-day.
Do you charge more for a stacked washer-dryer?
The diagnostic is $150 rather than $99, because a stacked or combination unit is two machines sharing one cabinet and both have to be assessed to establish which one has failed.
Everything after that is identical: the diagnostic is applied to the repair when you approve it, the 90-day parts and labor warranty applies, and the veteran, senior and new-customer discounts work the same way. Tell us at booking so the right length of visit is scheduled.
