    Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The number one cause is a restricted exhaust vent. Lint accumulates in the vent duct over time, reducing airflow so moisture can't escape the drum. Other causes include a clogged lint screen housing, a weak heating element, or an overloaded machine. Our tech checks the full airflow path during the $59 diagnostic.

    At least once a year for most homes. If your vent run is longer than 15 feet or has multiple bends, every six months is safer. Homes with pets or large families that run the dryer daily may need more frequent cleaning. A clean vent improves drying time and reduces fire risk.

    Yes. Restricted vents force the dryer to overheat, and the trapped lint in the duct is highly flammable. Dryer vent fires are one of the most common causes of house fires. If your dryer is taking multiple cycles, gets very hot to the touch, or you smell a burning lint odor, call for service promptly.
