Dryer not drying clothes in one cycle? Here's how we fixed it in Riverside, CA

When your dryer is running but your clothes still come out damp, something’s not working as it should. That’s exactly what happened to a local customer in Riverside who contacted us after dealing with multiple drying cycles just to finish one load. If your dryer isn’t drying your clothes in one cycle, this real repair story might help you understand why.

Dryer issue: Taking 3 cycles to dry a single load

The problem reported

Our client in Riverside, CA reached out after noticing a serious drop in performance.

“It takes 2 or 3 cycles for my dryer to properly dry my clothes,” they told us.

Even though the dryer powered on and appeared to run normally, the laundry stayed damp no matter what setting they chose. This is one of the most common signs something’s wrong — and it’s usually related to heating or airflow issues.

Tech on site: Oleg

Our technician Oleg arrived on the same day and began troubleshooting immediately. After a full inspection, he identified two key issues:

The heating element was failing and not producing enough heat
The dryer vent was completely clogged with lint, severely restricting airflow

Together, these problems explained why the dryer wasn’t drying clothes efficiently — the appliance was essentially running without proper heat and circulation.

What we did to fix the dryer

Replacing the failed heating element

Oleg carefully removed the old heating element and replaced it with a new, manufacturer-approved part. A weak or broken heating coil is one of the top reasons your dryer isn’t drying your clothes, even when it seems like it’s working.

Clearing the blocked vent for safe airflow

Next, he removed built-up lint from the dryer’s exhaust vent and rear panel, restoring full airflow. Restricted ventilation forces dryers to overheat or underperform — both of which waste energy and damage clothing.

Why is your dryer not drying in one cycle?

If your dryer seems to be working but clothes are still damp, here are some common causes:

Burned-out heating element
Clogged lint trap or external vent
Overloaded dryer drum
Faulty blower motor or thermostat
Malfunctioning moisture sensor

These issues are especially common in areas like Riverside where dust and lint buildup happens quickly due to the dry air. If your dryer is taking longer and longer to do its job, it’s time to call in a professional.

I wasn’t expecting my dryer to start screeching like that—sounded like metal grinding metal, and even my dog ran off. I searched around and most companies were booked for days, but this team offered same-day service. The technician showed up right on time, was super respectful, and fixed the issue right there in my laundry room. Turns out the belt had snapped. He had the part in his van and got it running again in under an hour. No hidden charges, no upselling—just honest, fast dryer repair in Riverside. Definitely saving their number!

Our Maytag started making a metal-on-metal squeal that sent the dog hiding under the couch. I called a few places but only these guys could come the same afternoon. Dennis rolled up, let the dog sniff his hand (nice touch), and swapped the shredded belt on the spot. No surprise fees, and he even tightened a loose door hinge for free. If you ever need a dryer repair in Riverside, keep their number handy.

I wasn’t planning to deal with a broken dryer on a Sunday, but ours just stopped spinning halfway through a load. With two toddlers, laundry piles up fast. I didn’t expect anyone to come same day, but Express Dryer Repair actually had someone available. Oleg showed up around 5pm, saw the belt had snapped, and replaced it right from his van. He was quick, explained everything without making it complicated, and didn’t try to sell me anything extra. Honestly just solid, straightforward help. I was relieved
