Dryer Vent Cleaning in the Orlando-Kissimmee Areas of FL
Dryers only work right if their exhaust vent is clear. By taking care of the ventilation system of a clothes dryer it is less likely to fail. The inspection and cleansing of the dryer vents is essential to prevent early failure of parts such as bearings, ignitors and other important parts.
Some tips that will ensure your clothing drying is working safely and efficiently are:
- The power and performance of your dryer is dependent on frequent lint vent and behind machine cleanings.
- To increase tumbling action when doing a small load vary the size of the items, and only do a full load is using an Auto-Dry cycle.
- You should ask your dealer about a rack to help dry caps, sneakers, sweaters, stuffed toys, and pillows.
- If something is stained with a flammable substance (alcohol, cooking oils, gasoline, spot removers, dry-cleaning solvents, etc.), you should not dry it in a machine because it could catch fire.
- Remember to never put your foam backed rugs in the dryer.
- Bending too low can cause injury, avoid this by putting your dryer at least a foot from the floor, level with your washer.
- Always keep in mind that white plastic ducts and foil are dangerous and minimize dryer capability, so make sure you use metal or rigid ducts on your dryer.
The most common problems caused by clogged vents are:
- Increased drying times
- Clothes get too hot which is bad for perma-press
- The dryer can be too loud
- Clothes come out of the dryer still damp and hot
- Automatic sensors may fail
- Early failure of heating element, motor or bearings
A clogged up and down vent run can cause the motor, drum rollers, and/or heater to fail early. Dryer maintenance is best done by a qualified service personnel (UL - Underwriters Laboratories).
