Dimitri was great today, he finished the job in a timely fashion, put everything back together perfectly and explained the issue in detail. Highly recommend

Our recent service call and appliance repair by Sergei with Avantgarde appliance repair was the best we could have imagined. We received same day diagnostic and repair service - on a Saturday morning. Sergei had all parts and equipment necessary and was so professional, timely and efficient. I have no hesitation to recommend this company - and best of all they service all of Ottawa and rural areas that no one else will go. Such a great business model!

Sergei fixed my LG dryer (no heat). He came the day after i called him and he was a pleasure to work with — showed me the issue, discussed the work to fix the problem and price. It was all clear and reasonable. Clean up, etc. was great too. Thanks Sergie!

Friendly, quick and honest service. Another company was telling us we needed to change the dryer’s motor, a very expensive repair. Avantgarde took its time, and found the issue was that a sock had gotten into the drum and was blocking it. Removed the sock, did not need anything else and everything is working perfectly. Saved us a bunch of money.

Dude was legit the best repairman. He was courteous (had boot covers to not track dirt inside), professional, and efficient. He diagnosed the issue with my dryer quickly. He showed me a photo of what was wrong with my dryer once he took it apart, and explained how it should look and the likely cause of the issue. His fees are the best in Ottawa, $55-80 dollars less than other people charge just for the call fee. He is an independent worker and is his own boss. I would recommend him to everyone.

Arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the issue, performed a thorough cleaning of our dryer, took great care in moving it back into its position and recommended a solution to our problem. Very happy!

The dryer suddenly stopped heating. I called a few places, but Sergey was the one who answered the phone first. He arrived the next day and completed the repair in one trip! Sergey was responsive throughout, arrived when he said he would, and quickly and reasonably repaired my dryer. There was nothing more that could be desired. Will def recommend him to others.

Common Dryer Repair Questions & Answers.

A dryer that runs but doesn’t produce heat can have problems with the heating element, thermal fuse, or temperature switch. Other causes include tripped circuit breakers, clogged vents, or faulty thermostats.

A standard dryer load should typically dry in 30-45 minutes. If your dryer is taking significantly longer, it could indicate restricted airflow due to lint buildup, vent obstructions, or heating element problems.

Faulty moisture sensors can cause early shutdown; other possible reasons are:

  •  Restricted airflow, which can lead to overheating
  •  Malfunctioning thermostat
  • Timer problems

Our technicians can check these components and repair or replace them as necessary to enable appropriate cycle completion.

Dryer vents should be cleaned by a professional at least once a year. Some conditions that require more frequent cleaning include:

  • Homes with pets
  •  Large families
  •  Heavy dryer usage

 A clogged vent is a serious fire hazard, reduces the efficiency of drying, increases the run time, and blows up your energy bill

Most dryers last for 10-13 years. If your dryer is less than eight years old, repair is generally less expensive than replacement. Our technicians can give an honest evaluation of your dryer and tell you whether repair or replacement is the way to go, based on the age of the unit, cost of the repair, and energy efficiency of the machine.

A dryer that trips the circuit breaker can have an electrical short in the heating element, a damaged power cord, or a faulty motor. At times, the problem is with the home’s electrical system if the circuit is overloaded. 

Unusual noises like thumping, squealing, or grinding typically indicate mechanical problems. Common causes include worn drum rollers or bearings, a failing drive belt, objects caught in the drum, or problems with the blower wheel.
