The clothes dryer is a simple, durable appliance that will continue to dry clothes efficiently for many years as long as it is well maintained. Even an older clothes dryer should be capable of drying a load of laundry in less than one hour. Increased drying time does not indicate malfunction, age or wear. It is a warning sign of a serious fire hazard. In fact most dryer performance problems are the direct result of poor ventilation. Professional dryer vent service will extend the life of the dryer while improving safety and performance.
The dryer vent system is the most important function of the clothes dryer. It provides airflow to remove heat and moisture from tumbling laundry. Contrary to popular belief, the dryer vent is not designed to carry dryer lint out of the home. Some will make it to the outdoors, and about 60 percent will be caught in the lint screen. The rest will sneak into the dryer cabinet to interfere with working parts or accumulate in the dryer duct. This happens because lint is moist when removed from laundry. It will stick to the sides of the dryer vent tube where it attracts more lint. As the lint accumulates, air flow is reduced and clothes take longer to dry. Dryer vent service will speed up drying time and prevent a dryer fire.
As the dryer duct becomes clogged with lint, the dryer begins to work longer and harder to do its job, using substantially more energy. When left unchecked, the situation becomes hazardous. Lint is highly combustible and all it takes is a small spark from within the dryer to start a rapidly spreading fire. The hazard can be eliminated by calling Dryer Vent Wizard
