Professional Maytag dryer repair in Ontario

When your Maytag dryer runs but doesn’t heat, it can throw off your entire routine. That’s exactly what happened for our customer in Ontario, CA. The dryer drum was spinning, but the air inside stayed cold, leaving clothes damp after every cycle.

After searching for appliance repair near me, the homeowner found our Ontario appliance repair specialists and booked a same-day visit. Oleg, one of our experienced technicians, arrived on time and got to work right away.


Common reasons your Maytag dryer isn’t heating

  • Burned-out heating element – no heat despite the dryer running.
  • Blown thermal fuse – shuts off heat to prevent overheating.
  • Defective thermostat or high-limit switch – interrupts the heating cycle.
  • Clogged vent line – restricts airflow and prevents proper drying.
  • Worn gas igniter (for gas models) – prevents flame ignition.

Oleg ran continuity tests on the heating circuit and quickly identified a burned-out heating element and a dirty vent system restricting airflow.


How we repaired it

Our technician replaced the Maytag heating element with an OEM replacement, cleaned the internal lint housing, and cleared the vent line. After testing a full drying cycle, the unit reached proper heat levels and dried clothes evenly.

This simple repair restored full performance — saving the customer from replacing the entire appliance.


Signs your dryer needs repair

  • Dryer runs but produces no heat
  • Clothes take too long to dry
  • Burning smell or overheating
  • Dryer shuts off early or mid-cycle
  • Loud noises or vibrations

If you notice any of these, it’s time to call a professional before the issue gets worse.

Today I had my refrigerator and my dishwasher repaired by Dennis. He did an amazing job. This company is wonderful because they were able to get me seen on the same day I called to request service, which was super convenient. Dennis was super friendly and walked me through the whole process and even showed me how to use my icemaker! I’ll definitely be using them again referring them to all my friends and family. Thanks again.

Although it took 3 trips to install my washer, the 2 technicians, esp Dennis, did a fabulous job. Thanks for taking such good care of my appliances and doing all the extra little tasks I had you do.  I really wanted to give you 5 stars…but it did take 3 days to install 1 appliance.  But I would definitely call again use your service again and recommend you to my friends.

My experience with IK Service was fantastic. I called because my washing machine had stopped working. Within 2 hours, they had a technician, Igor, at my house to look at the problem. Igor was very kind and respectful and showed me what the problem was. Though I did not end up moving forward with repairs (the motor was dead and the replacement piece was very expensive because of how old the washer it), I would 100% use IK Service again if I had another appliance issue. Definitely recommend due to speed, communication, and customer service.The technician Viktor was quick,knows what he was doing and was able to finish the job in a few minutes.
