Dryer type
Vented, condenser and heat-pump dryers use different heating and airflow systems.
Send the appliance, model if known and the fault. We will confirm availability and the next step.
Estimated repair prices
These ranges help you budget before booking. The final amount depends on the diagnosed fault, parts, model, access and repair complexity.
| Repair / service | Typical fault or scope | Estimated range |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnosis | Fault inspection and quote | R350 – R650+ |
| Heating element | Dryer runs but does not heat | R500 – R900+ |
| Drive belt | Drum not turning | R450 – R800+ |
| Thermostat / thermal control | Overheating or no heat | R450 – R850+ |
| Motor / drive work | Drum drive or mechanical fault | R600 – R1,500+ |
| Typical dryer repair | Common domestic dryer faults | R400 – R1,800+ |
Prices shown are guide estimates for budgeting and comparison, not fixed quotations. We confirm the repair price after diagnosis and before work proceeds.
What changes the price?
The cost depends on whether the failure is in heating, airflow, drum drive or controls.
Vented, condenser and heat-pump dryers use different heating and airflow systems.
Element and thermostat repairs differ from heat-pump refrigeration faults.
Belts, rollers, bearings and motors affect labour and parts.
Lint restriction and ventilation problems may cause symptoms without a failed heater.
What you pay for
We first establish whether the dryer is heating, turning and moving air correctly. That separates heater faults from drive and airflow problems.
Our work
Pricing depends on what we find inside the appliance or system. We work directly on the components, controls and cooling systems involved, then test the repaired function before the job is complete.

A major motor or heat-pump-system repair on an older dryer should be compared with the cost and efficiency of replacement.
Spend where it makes sense
Age alone does not decide whether a repair is worthwhile. We look at the failed component, overall condition, parts availability and the likely result of the repair before you decide.

Answers for customers comparing repair costs before booking.
Many domestic repairs are estimated around R400–R1,800+, depending on the fault and parts.
Heating elements, thermostats, thermal cut-outs, airflow restriction and controls can all cause no-heat symptoms.
