The short answer

Heat-pump and vented
Heat-pump dryers need cleaning a vented dryer doesn't
A heat-pump dryer recirculates air through a heat exchanger instead of venting it, so lint shows up as long drying times rather than a hot vent. On the Bosch WQB245B0UC, "CArE" calls for the care program with about 1.5 liters of hot water in the condensation container, and Bosch lists a room below 59 °F or above 86 °F among the causes of slow drying — worth knowing for an unheated laundry room in a Bedford winter.
For any dryer, the $95 diagnostic is credited toward the repair.
Modern dryers feature moisture sensors, steam refresh cycles, and heat pump technology providing efficient, fabric-friendly drying. Premium brands like Miele and Bosch engineer dryers with advanced features requiring specialized service knowledge. Our dryer technicians are certified for both gas and electric dryers, understanding heating systems, drum mechanics, and electronic controls. We restore proper drying performance while ensuring safe operation. Heat pump dryers receive particular attention for their sophisticated technology and efficiency advantages.
Dryer diagnosis begins with heating system evaluation - testing gas igniters and valves or electric heating elements. Exhaust airflow is measured to identify ventilation restrictions. Drum rotation and motor function are verified. Moisture sensors are tested for proper operation. Door switches and safety systems are checked. Control board function is evaluated. This systematic approach identifies specific repair needs.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
Why isn't my dryer heating?
No heat in gas dryers typically results from igniter or gas valve failures. In electric dryers, heating elements or thermostats fail. Both types can lose heat from thermal fuse activation due to restricted ventilation. We diagnose the specific cause.
My dryer takes too long to dry clothes. What's wrong?
Extended drying usually indicates restricted exhaust ventilation. Lint buildup in vents reduces airflow significantly. Failed heating components or worn drum seals also extend drying. We check ventilation and dryer components.
How often should dryer vents be cleaned?
Annual professional vent cleaning is recommended, more frequently for heavy-use households. Restricted vents cause long drying times, increased energy use, and fire hazards. Lint filter cleaning before each load is also essential.
What are the benefits of heat pump dryers?
Heat pump dryers use lower temperatures protecting fabrics while achieving exceptional energy efficiency. They recirculate air rather than venting outside. While cycle times are longer, gentle drying and energy savings provide long-term benefits.

“Three cycles to dry one load. He gauged the vent, pulled the pedestal, and found the flex duct crushed flat and packed with lint. Rebuilt that run in rigid pipe. One cycle does it now.”
“The upper section of our built-in crept up to fifty degrees while the freezer stayed rock solid. Turned out the condenser fan motor had seized and the compartment was heat-soaking. New motor, coils vacuumed out, back to normal by dinner.”
“Our wine cabinet had been drifting a couple of degrees warmer each week and I only caught it from the display log. The lower thermistor was reading low and the door seal had flattened at one corner. Both replaced, and it has held steady since.”
“Water was pooling under the crisper drawers every second or third day and I had convinced myself the supply line was leaking. He pulled the lower panel, showed me the Sub-Zero defrost drain frozen solid, cleared it, and fitted a new heater clip so it would not ice up again. Dry ever since.”
