The rest of the lineup.
Same $99 diagnostic, same written quote, same written warranty on every machine we fix in Mount Pleasant.
Between the harbor and the marsh, a Mount Pleasant dryer breathes air that is wet and faintly salty every day of the year. Lint turns to felt in the duct, terminals corrode, drum rollers seize, and a moisture sensor starts lying to the board. We test the heat circuit with a meter, measure airflow at the exhaust and write one price before the repair begins.

Mount Pleasant sits on a peninsula of its own between the Wando, the Cooper and the Intracoastal, and the air carries salt from the harbor and the beaches across the Isle of Palms Connector. That matters two ways. The humidity is constant, so lint that would blow clear in a dry climate packs into a dense felt inside the duct and around the blower housing. And the salt is corrosive, so the terminal block, element connections and door switch contacts pit and green over a few years, especially in the Old Village, along Shem Creek and nearest the Connector. A dryer that has spent eight years in a Mount Pleasant garage looks older inside than its age.
The houses add the other half of the picture. Park West, Carolina Park and Dunes West are mostly two-story homes with the laundry upstairs and a vent that runs through the attic or down through a chase, twenty-five feet or more with several elbows. I’On and the Old Village have renovated laundry closets with flexible duct crammed behind the machine. Snee Farm and the older streets off Coleman Blvd and US-17 have garage laundries with short runs and older machines. Gas dryers are common across town. The technician reads the house first, because the same open thermal fuse means something different in each of those layouts.
Electric: heating element open, thermal fuse blown, or a corroded terminal block that has lost a leg of the 240-volt supply. Gas: igniter glowing weak or gas valve coils failed. Each is a meter test. We replace the part and measure airflow so the failure does not repeat.
Restricted airflow in a long upstairs run, or moisture sensor bars coated with dryer sheet film so the board ends the cycle early or runs it forever. We clean the bars, test the exhaust and clear the section of duct behind the machine, then time a real load.
Drum rollers with bearings seized by humidity, a rear drum bearing worn through, or an idler pulley that has dried out. The sound grows until the belt goes. We replace the roller set and idler as a pair and check the drum glides while the cabinet is open.
Outlet and breaker first, then the door switch, then the control. A half-tripped double-pole breaker in a Dunes West panel can kill the display and look like a failed board. Salt-pitted contacts in the door switch are a common cause we see near the water.
Lint past the drum seals lying on the element or burner. We pull the drum, clean the entire cabinet, replace the felt seals and check exhaust temperature. This is a same-week call at most, and we tell you to stop using the machine until we arrive.
A high-limit thermostat tripping from restricted airflow, a thermistor out of spec on Samsung and LG machines, or a gas dryer’s flame sensor dropping out. We test each against the manufacturer’s values and check the vent before quoting any of them.
The technician starts at the wall with a voltage reading, because a missing leg of 240 volts spins the drum cold and mimics a dead element. Then the cabinet opens and the heat circuit is tested in order: element or igniter, thermal fuse, cycling thermostat, high-limit thermostat, thermistor. In Mount Pleasant the terminal block and every connector get a look for salt corrosion, since a green terminal drops voltage and heats up long before it fails outright. Airflow is measured at the exhaust to decide whether the duct is part of the problem. All of that goes into one written price, and approval means the repair starts from the van, usually that visit. Ordered parts mean a return trip with no second trip fee.
The dryers in Mount Pleasant skew toward LG, Samsung, Electrolux, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE and Bosch, with a few Miele compact units in I’On and the Old Village, and the van is stocked accordingly. Gated and HOA communities are routine: Dunes West, the Park West sections and the Carolina Park streets all get the same window, with the gate code taken at booking. Owners renting long-term along Coleman Blvd or US-17 get approval by text and the invoice and written warranty by email. The pricing does not change with the neighborhood. The $99 diagnostic is inside the number you approve; decline it and $99 is the whole bill. Book online for up to $20 off the repair.
Yes, gradually. The terminal block, element connections, door switch contacts and the moisture sensor bars all corrode faster within a mile or two of the harbor and the Connector than they do inland. It shows up as a dryer that heats weakly or intermittently before it stops entirely. We check every connection while the cabinet is open.
It changes the vent. An upstairs laundry usually means a long duct with several elbows through the attic, and that run collects lint felt faster than a short garage run. The repair itself is the same, but we measure airflow at the exhaust and tell you if the duct is restricting the machine.
Yes. Gas dryers are common in Park West, Dunes West, I’On and the newer Carolina Park streets. Igniters, flame sensors and gas valve coils are on the van, and the technician confirms a clean burner flame and a proper shutoff before closing the cabinet.
Nothing separate. The $99 diagnostic is part of the repair price you approve, so you pay one number. If you choose not to repair, $99 is the entire bill and you keep the written explanation. Booking online takes up to $20 off the repair itself.
Yes. Give us the gate code or the guardhouse instructions when you book and the technician arrives inside the scheduled window. Dunes West, the gated sections of Park West and the condo buildings near Shem Creek are all routine stops on the Mount Pleasant route.
Call (843) 969-4423 or send the form. Most requests get a callback within the hour in business time, with a real arrival window.
The technician tests the machine with a meter, names the failed part in plain words, and writes one flat price. The $99 is already inside it.
We stock the high-failure parts for the brands Lowcountry homes actually own, so most jobs close on the spot; ordered parts return with no second trip fee.
Full test cycle before we pack up, a tidy work area after, and a written warranty in your hand.
One call starts it: $99 diagnostic, written quote, repair from the van. Book online and up to $20 comes off the repair.
