The clothes dryer is a delight of modern life. We toss heaps of wet clothes inside, shut the door, and press Start. A short time later, voila, you have warm, dry clothes.If you don’t take care of your machine, however, it can become a fire hazard. Every year in America, thousands of clothing-dryer fires lead to deaths, injuries, and $35 million in property damage, according to the U.S. Fire Administration.
Dryer Problems to Watch Out For
There are many dryer problems to watch out for, including your dryer stopping mid-cycle, receiving dryer error codes, or noticing overheating errors. If you encounter any of these dryer vent problems, address them as quickly as possible. Doing so will help prevent further damage to your clothes or system while also ensuring the safety and efficiency of your dryer vent system. Schedule a professional inspection to diagnose and resolve any underlying dryer problems.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
When you notice any of these dryer vent warning signs like mid-cycle stops or error codes, scheduling a laundry dryer vent cleaning with Dryer Vent Wizard can help. Dryer vent cleaning will eliminate any debris or lint buildup causing some of your dryer problems. Dryer vent cleaning will improve the airflow and promote more effective drying times. Vent cleaning is also an excellent routine maintenance task to ensure the long-term safety of your dryer.
Dryer Delinting
Removing built-up lint from the system’s interior components is vital for the unit’s efficiency. Dryer delinting can solve many dryer problems or error codes by improving airflow, reducing fire risks, and extending the lifespan of your dryer.
Dryer Vent Repair
Dryer error codes may indicate dryer vent problems with connections or airflow. These issues require repairs in addition to a cleaning. When vents are damaged or disconnected, airflow is compromised, leading to higher energy bills and longer drying times. Repairing a damaged vent will restore the airflow and help prevent any other issues before they start. Additionally, it’ll extend the lifespan by preventing further wear or tear.
What is lint buildup?
Over time, bits of lint evade the removable filter and wind up stuck inside the dryer duct. When enough builds up, air can’t flow through freely, which can lead to overheating, even fires.
Reducing dust and lint in and around your dryer is an important part of dryer maintenance.
Make a habit of sweeping and dusting around your dryer.
Remove and clean out the lint filter before running the dryer.
Every so often, use your vacuum’s hose attachment to clean in and around the lint filter opening.
If you use dryer sheets, you may notice a residue on the lint screen. Gently clean it in warm, soapy water with a brush, then towel dry.
