We clean the vent line from the dryer connection to the exterior hood, clear the hood, and check airflow when finished.

Common problems we solve

Long drying times
Clothes taking more than one cycle to dry is a common sign of restricted airflow.
Hot dryer or laundry room
Restricted vents trap heat around the appliance.
Burning smell
Stop using the dryer and have the vent checked if you notice a burning smell.
Lint at the outside vent
Lint around the exterior hood or a flap that does not open means air is not moving freely.
