Gas Dryer Repair Across Toronto & GTA — TSSA Licensed
Fixlify Appliance Services provides expert gas dryer repair throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Gas dryers operate differently from electric models — they use a gas burner assembly with an igniter, flame sensor, and gas valve coils to generate heat instead of an electric heating element. When a gas dryer stops heating, the diagnosis requires understanding of the gas ignition sequence, not just checking a heating element with a multimeter. Our TSSA-licensed technicians specialize in gas dryer systems and carry all common replacement parts on every service call. Call (437) 524-1053 for same-day gas dryer repair.
Gas Safety Warning — Read This First
If you smell gas in your home:
- Leave immediately — do not turn on or off any lights, switches, or appliances
- Do not use your phone inside — any electrical spark can ignite gas
- Call 911 from outside your home
- Call Enbridge Gas Emergency at 1-866-763-5427
- Do not re-enter until Enbridge or fire department clears the home
Never attempt DIY gas appliance repairs. All gas appliance work in Ontario must be performed by a TSSA-licensed gas fitter. Improper repairs can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, gas leaks, fires, and explosions.
TSSA-Licensed Gas Appliance Technicians — Ontario Requirement
All gas appliance repairs in Ontario must be performed by a TSSA-licensed gas fitter. The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) regulates gas work across the province to protect homeowners from carbon monoxide exposure, gas leaks, and fire hazards. Fixlify Appliance Services employs TSSA-certified technicians who carry valid G2 or G3 gas fitter licences — verified and current. When our technician arrives at your home, they can show their TSSA certification on request. This is not optional — it is Ontario law. Any company sending an unlicensed worker to repair your gas stove, gas dryer, or gas oven is breaking the law and putting your family at risk.
Our TSSA-licensed technicians undergo annual recertification and continuous training on new gas appliance technologies. We carry calibrated combustion analyzers to test carbon monoxide levels after every gas appliance repair — ensuring the repaired appliance burns cleanly and safely before we leave your home. We also inspect gas supply connections, flex connectors, and shut-off valves during every service call, because a gas appliance repair is an opportunity to verify the safety of the entire gas supply chain to that appliance.
Common Gas Dryer Problems We Repair
- Gas dryer not heating — drum spins but clothes stay wet: This is the most common gas dryer call. The igniter clicks, the drum rotates, but no heat is produced. The cause is almost always failed gas valve solenoid coils ($120–$200 repair) — these electromagnetic coils open the gas valve to allow fuel flow to the burner. When they fail, the igniter glows red but gas never reaches it. We replace both coils as a set — replacing only one leads to the second failing within weeks.
- Igniter replacement: The gas dryer igniter is a silicon carbide or silicon nitride element that glows red-hot to ignite the gas stream. Over time, igniters develop micro-cracks that increase electrical resistance, making them glow dimmer and eventually fail to reach ignition temperature. A failing igniter may work intermittently before dying completely — if your gas dryer sometimes heats and sometimes does not, the igniter is the first component we test. Cost: $120–$200.
- Flame sensor / radiant sensor failure: The flame sensor monitors the gas burner flame and shuts off the gas valve if the flame goes out unexpectedly. A failing flame sensor can cause the dryer to shut off mid-cycle or refuse to ignite at all. Cost: $90–$160.
- Thermal fuse blown: Gas dryers have thermal fuses that cut power if the exhaust temperature exceeds safe limits. A blown thermal fuse usually indicates a blocked dryer vent — we always check the vent pathway when replacing a thermal fuse to prevent immediate recurrence. Cost: $80–$140.
- Gas supply line issues: Kinked, corroded, or improperly connected gas flex lines can restrict fuel flow to the dryer, causing weak flame or no ignition. We inspect the supply line and shut-off valve on every gas dryer service call.
Gas Dryer Brands We Service
We repair all major gas dryer brands: Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Kenmore, Amana, Frigidaire, and Speed Queen. Whirlpool and Maytag gas dryers share the same ignition system platform — parts are interchangeable and we stock them for same-visit repair. LG and Samsung gas dryers use a different igniter and valve configuration that requires model-specific parts. Our vans carry both platforms.
