How much does it cost to repair a dryer?
Before carrying out any repairs, our service technicians determine the age of the appliance and, if possible, its operating hours so far, in order to take all factors into account. Prior to repairs, we submit an offer to you and the decision on whether or not to conduct repairs always rests with you, or specifically the owner of the dryer. The costs of repairs depend on the extent of the defect. The costs of minor repairs usually amount to 200 to 500 francs, while major defects can typically cost 500 to 900 francs.

When does a dryer need to be replaced and when is it best to repair?
Modern dryers run using a compressor. If the compressor is broken, repairs are almost impossible. Otherwise, it is usually worthwhile to repair the appliance. Our service technicians will be happy to advise you on site and also present a corresponding offer for the repairs straight away.

What can I do if the dryer no longer works?
If the dryer no longer dries laundry properly, many people assume the machine is broken. In most cases, however, there is no fault; regular maintenance has simply been neglected. To safeguard the proper functioning of a dryer, it is important to empty the lint filter regularly, clean the condenser and check the water drain. These small tasks are absolutely essential to ensure your appliance works reliably.
