Dryer Repair Northside Jacksonville FL
The sharpest contrast in our Jacksonville data sits inside one Northside laundry room. Half of our washer visits here end with a part fitted. Only 22.2 percent of our dryer visits do — 4 of 18 paid jobs. Same houses, same owners, same number of cycles, and a 2.3 times difference in whether the machine is genuinely broken.
If your dryer has stopped on the Northside, it almost certainly has a failed part in it. The median with a part replaced is $395. From 26 dryer jobs across ZIPs 32218, 32219 and 32226, 22 of them in the last twelve months.
Dryer Repair on the Northside, Jacksonville FL
No heat, clothes still damp after a full cycle, will not tumble, will not start, squealing or thumping, shutting off part-way. Gas and electric, stacked pairs included.
What Dryer Repair Costs on the Northside, by Component
Thirteen local jobs with a part replaced is enough for a local median shown with its sample size, and not enough for a component breakdown. So the local row is labelled and everything under it comes from our company-wide book of 4,218 completed dryer repairs, with the job count on each line. All figures are parts, labor and the service call together.
| Repair | Median total | Source | Jobs behind it (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Any dryer repair, part replaced | $395 | Northside Jacksonville | 13 |
| Any dryer repair, part replaced | $352 | Company-wide | 4,218 |
| Door switch | $321 | Company-wide | 54 |
| Drive belt | $322 | Company-wide | 259 |
| Thermal fuse | $332 | Company-wide | 84 |
| Drum rollers or idler pulley | $349 | Company-wide | 218 |
| Cycling thermostat | $350 | Company-wide | 144 |
| Blocked vent cleared | $350 | Company-wide | 43 |
| Heating element | $362 | Company-wide | 360 |
| Blower wheel | $368 | Company-wide | 22 |
| Drive motor | $394 | Company-wide | 55 |
| Control board | $478 | Company-wide | 71 |
| Diagnostic visit only | $99 | Happens 22.2% of the time here | 4 of 18 |
Two lines in that table belong next to each other. Clearing a blocked vent runs $350 and replacing a heating element runs $362, twelve dollars apart, and the causal arrow runs one way: a restricted vent traps heat, the element and the high-limit thermostat run far beyond what they are designed for, and the element eventually burns out.
If the vent is not dealt with in the same visit, the replacement follows the original. That is the single most useful sentence on this page. When we replace an element we check the vent run as a matter of course, because otherwise you are buying the same repair twice.

Why Northside Dryers Fail the Way They Do
Dryers are 26 of the 188 Northside jobs where our paperwork names an appliance, 13.8 percent, against 10.7 percent across our whole company. That is a higher dryer share than most of our territory, and the diagnostic-only number underneath it is the lowest in this cluster by a wide margin.
Two machines side by side, opposite diagnostic economics 22.2 AGAINST 51.0 PERCENT
Only 14 of our 18 paid Northside dryer visits ended with a part fitted. Next to it, in the same rooms, 25 of 49 washer visits did. That gap is not about how often each machine fails — they are used the same number of times by the same people.
It is about how many ways each one has of looking broken while being fine. A dryer either heats and tumbles or it does not, and there is very little ambiguity in that. A washer stops, beeps and refuses to spin for a dozen reasons that have nothing to do with a failed component.
The practical rule for a Northside laundry room: if the dryer has stopped, book it; if the washer is behaving oddly, spend ten minutes on the checks first.
The vent costs the same as the element, and it is what kills the element $350 AGAINST $362
Clearing a blocked vent runs a $350 median across 43 company jobs; a heating element runs $362 across 360. Restriction is what connects them.
This territory covers 254 square miles of northern Duval County at 42,491 housing units, which is the most thinly settled ground we work in Jacksonville — largely detached single-family housing where the laundry sits in a utility room or garage and the duct has a real distance to travel to an outside wall.
Every foot and every elbow adds restriction, and a crushed flexible transition hose behind the machine is one of the most common things we find. A load that needs two cycles to dry is telling you this directly.
Nearly all of this record is from the last twelve months 22 OF 26
22 of our 26 Northside dryer jobs fall in the last twelve months, and the cluster overall has gone 11 jobs in 2023, 50 in 2024, 117 in 2025 and 102 in the first seven and a half months of 2026.
That is a route that has grown fast rather than a deep record, and it is worth knowing when you read the local median of $395 against our company-wide $352.
Thirteen jobs is a small sample and a gap of that size is ordinary variation, not evidence that dryers cost more here. The company figure is the one to plan around, and we show both with their sample sizes rather than blending them into one number.
Damp clothes and no heat are the same call from our side 1,195 JOBS
Company-wide, jobs logged as no heat number 969 at a $368 median and jobs logged as damp clothes number 226 at $365. From a technician point of view those are one problem with two descriptions, and the shortlist is identical: heating element, thermal fuse, cycling thermostat, or airflow.
On a gas dryer the ignition side joins that list; we service gas and electric both, but our sample of gas-specific component replacements is too small to publish medians for, so we will not put numbers on it. Background is in dryer not heating and how a dryer heating element is replaced.
22 of our 26 Northside dryer jobs fall in the last twelve months, so this is a standing route. With the highest part-fitted share in the cluster, a stopped dryer here usually means a real part and a real repair — and the $99 comes off the bill. Book online or call (954) 902-6229.
Where on the Northside We See This Work
Three ZIP codes, all Jacksonville proper in Duval County, all at the same price with no travel surcharge. 32219 also carries Dinsmore as an accepted USPS name.
| ZIP | USPS names | All our jobs | Dryer jobs | Dryer share of that ZIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 32218 | Jacksonville | 164 | 14 | 8.5% |

32219, the Dinsmore ZIP, produces the highest dryer share of the three at 16.7 percent, though on 42 total jobs that is a modest sample and we are reporting it rather than explaining it. The full picture across every appliance is on appliance repair on the Northside.

Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Tumbles but no heat at all — heating element at $362, thermal fuse at $332, or cycling thermostat at $350. 969 company jobs at a $368 median. On an electric dryer a tripped half of the double breaker gives the same symptom and costs nothing, so that is checked first.
- Heats but clothes are still damp — airflow. A restricted vent, a lint-packed duct, a crushed transition hose behind the machine, or a failing blower wheel at $368. Clearing the vent runs $350. See dryer not heating.
- Motor runs but the drum does not turn — drive belt at $322 or the idler pulley. 223 company jobs logged as not tumbling at a $335 median, and one of the most common single repairs we do.
- Squealing or rumbling as it turns — drum rollers or idler pulley at $349. Noise jobs run $349 across 601 of them. Left alone the rollers seize and take the belt with them.
- Will not start at all — door switch at $321, thermal fuse at $332, or the start switch. 151 company jobs at $341. A door that is not latching fully produces this and costs nothing to correct.
- Starts then shuts off part-way — high-limit thermostat responding to restricted airflow, or a failing motor at $394. 34 company jobs at $368. Almost always worth looking at the vent before the motor.
- Takes two cycles to dry one load — this is a vent message, not a dryer message, and it is a fire risk as well as a running cost.
Which Dryer Brands We See on the Northside
15 of our Northside dryer jobs carry a brand, and the list is unusually spread: Samsung 4, Whirlpool 3, LG 2, Kenmore 2, and one each of GE, Speed Queen, Hotpoint and Frigidaire. Fifteen is a small number and eight different brands inside it means we are not going to draw a portrait of the territory from it.
For context, our company-wide dryer mix across 2,524 tagged jobs runs Samsung 25.8 percent, Whirlpool 19.3 percent, GE 17.4 percent, Maytag 12.1 percent and LG 11.3 percent, so Samsung leading locally matches our book.
The practical point holds regardless of brand: belts, rollers, thermal fuses, thermostats and elements for the mainstream platforms ride on the van, and those are the overwhelming majority of dryer repairs, which is why most dryer jobs finish in a single visit.
Control boards at $478 are the main exception. This counts calls, not reliability. See most reliable appliance brands and appliance repair cost by brand.
Repair or Replace, in Northside Numbers
A dryer repair with a part replaced runs a $352 median across our whole book and $395 on our thirteen local jobs, against roughly $650 to $1,100 for a mid-market replacement delivered and installed. Either way a single repair is comfortably under half the cost of replacing.
The decision is more clear-cut on a dryer than on anything else in a Northside house, for the reason at the top of this page: with only 77.8 percent of visits ending with a part fitted, when we come out there is usually a defined failed part with a defined price rather than an open-ended investigation.
The line that changes the calculation is the control board at $478 on an older machine, which is where a second repair starts competing with a new appliance. Two practical notes. A stacked washer-dryer column carries a $150 diagnostic rather than $99 because both units have to be separated before anything can be seen, and a replacement decision on a stacked pair usually covers both machines.
And whichever way you go, deal with the vent run: a new dryer on a restricted duct will not dry any better than the old one did. Framework in the repair or replace guide, service life in how long dryers last.

Dryer Repair on the Northside — Questions We Get
How much does dryer repair cost on the Northside of Jacksonville?
Our local median with a part replaced is $395 on 13 jobs, and the figure we would plan around is our company-wide $352 from 4,218 completed dryer repairs.
By component: a door switch $321, a drive belt $322, a thermal fuse $332, drum rollers $349, a cycling thermostat $350, a blocked vent cleared $350, a heating element $362, a blower wheel $368, a drive motor $394 and a control board $478.
All are parts, labor and the service call together. A diagnostic visit on its own is $99, or $150 on a stacked washer-dryer.
Why is the part-fitted share so much lower on dryers than on washers here?
14 of 18 paid dryer visits ended with a part fitted, 22.2 percent, against 25 of 49 washer visits, 51.0 percent, in the same laundry rooms. It is a 2.3 times difference and it is not about failure rates, since both machines are used the same number of times by the same people.
A dryer either heats and tumbles or it does not, so there is little ambiguity. A washer stops, beeps and refuses to spin for a dozen reasons that have nothing to do with a failed component. If your dryer has stopped, there is nearly always a real part behind it.
My dryer heats but the clothes are still damp. What is wrong?
Almost always airflow rather than heat. A restricted or lint-packed vent duct, a crushed flexible transition hose behind the machine, a blocked exterior flap, or a failing blower wheel at $368.
Clearing a blocked vent runs a $350 median across 43 company jobs. If a load takes two cycles to dry, that is a vent message and also a fire risk, so it is worth acting on rather than living with.
Northside housing is largely detached single-family with the laundry in a utility room or garage, which tends to mean longer duct runs with more elbows.
Is it worth clearing the vent when you replace the heating element?
Yes, and we check it in the same visit as a matter of course. A restricted vent is the most common reason an element burns out: trapped heat drives the element and the high-limit thermostat past what they are designed for.
The two jobs cost almost the same, $350 to clear a vent against $362 for an element, so replacing the element and leaving the restriction in place means buying the same repair again later.
Why is your local dryer figure higher than your company figure?
Our Northside median with a part replaced is $395 against a company-wide $352, and the honest answer is that thirteen jobs is a small sample where a gap of that size is ordinary variation rather than evidence of anything. It is also a young sample: 22 of our 26 Northside dryer jobs fall in the last twelve months.
We publish both figures with the sample size next to each instead of averaging them into one. If you want a number to plan around, use $352. The price list is identical everywhere we drive.
Do you work on gas dryers as well as electric?
Yes, both. We do not publish separate medians for gas-specific components such as igniters and gas valve coils, because our sample of those replacements is too small to be meaningful and we would rather say so than print a number we cannot stand behind. If you can smell gas, do not run the machine or operate light switches.
Leave the house and call your gas utility from outside, and we will look at the appliance once the supply has been made safe.
Do you work on stacked washer-dryer units?
Yes. The diagnostic on a stacked column is $150 rather than $99, because the two units have to be separated and pulled before anything can be inspected. As with the standard diagnostic, the $150 is credited against the repair when you approve the work. Stacked pairs also change the repair-or-replace maths, since a replacement decision normally covers both machines rather than one.
Which Northside ZIP codes do you cover for dryer repair?
All three: 32218, 32219 and 32226, at the same price with no travel surcharge between them. 32219 also carries Dinsmore as an accepted USPS name, so an address written either way reaches the same route.
Our 26 dryer jobs break down as 14 in 32218, 7 in 32219 and 5 in 32226. 32219 produces the highest dryer share of the three at 16.7 percent of its own job total, though on 42 total jobs that is a modest sample.
