The Warning Signs

The Warning Signs

Clogged dryer vents can prevent lint from properly passing through the vent system. This issue can cause a buildup of lint behind your dryer.

If your clothes are not drying in one cycle this is a strong sign that there may be an obstruction in your dryer vent preventing the proper airflow needed to work efficiently.

When a vent line is clogged your dryer has to work harder and does not allow heat to be vented properly, causing it to overheat. Dryers that overheat typically shut off to prevent a fire. This warning should not be taken lightly; we recommend having a professional look at your system before your next load of laundry.

Lint screens should be cleaned after each drying cycle. If your screen does not accumulate lint, this is a sign that the air that carries the lint is not making it through the screen and out of the dryer because of a clogged dryer vent.

Obstructed dryer vents do not allow your dryer to properly expel lint, causing lint to accumulate on clothing during a drying cycle.

If the top of your dryer is hot to the touch, or if clothing is excessively hot after a drying cycle, it can be a warning sign that there is inadequate airflow caused by a clogged dryer vent.

Clogged vents can create a breeding ground for molds that cause unpleasant odors and health issues.

While having pets may not seem like a warning sign, pets increase the risk of lint accumulation and clogs due to pet hair combining with lint to create larger obstructions.

FAQ

Dryer’s drying time is largely related to the flow of air through the machine and the condition of the venting duct. If air is impeded in its pathway out of the dryer, or if there is a blockage in the venting duct, it could reduce the rate at which clothes are drying in your dryer. A dryer vent cleaning is required.
Usually these conditions occur when the dryer vent is clogged or has a blockage. the air is not escaping from your entire vent. The air is coming back into your dryer due to a blockage. There is a possibility that your flex hose behind the dryer might be disconnected, ripped, or torn. It would be a good time to replace the flexible duct.
Since your vent has a blockage, the air that is being pushed out of your dryer cannot escape at the exit. Your temperature sensor in your dryer is sensing a problem and kicking the gas or electric heat off. It is constantly thinking there is a problem. The temperature sensor is doing its job, and that is to prevent a major fire. When people run their dryer for months and months with long dry times, the sensors will eventually fail.

So, usually nothing at that time will get fixed because they don’t want to repair anything if it is resulting in a duct issue. You will still pay out of pocket for the service call. It’s better to call a dryer vent cleaner first, then an appliance technician second.
