The Hidden Danger: Is Your Dryer a Fire Hazard?
Unique Info: According to the National Fire Protection Association, dryers are a leading cause of house fires, and the primary culprit is lint buildup. While you clean your lint trap after every load, lint also accumulates deep inside the dryer cabinet and throughout the entire vent line.
This buildup restricts airflow, which causes three major problems:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Dryer Repair
Q: Why are my clothes still damp after a full 90-minute cycle?A: This is the #1 symptom of a clogged vent line. Your dryer cannot effectively push the moist air out, so the dampness circulates back onto your clothes. While it could also be a weak heating element, we always start by investigating airflow as a primary cause for both performance and safety.
Q: How often should I have my dryer vent professionally cleaned?A: We recommend a professional inspection and cleaning of your entire vent line every 1 to 2 years, depending on usage. If you have a long vent run or a large family, an annual check is a wise investment in safety and efficiency.
Q: Is a noisy dryer dangerous?A: It can be. A loud grinding or squealing noise is a mechanical problem—usually a worn-out belt, pulley, or drum roller. If these parts fail completely while the machine is running, it could potentially damage other components. It's best to get it serviced before the part breaks entirely.
