All dryer maintenance should start with exhaust vent cleaning. If your dryer is not regularly cleaned and maintained it could fail due to clogged vents. Checking dryer vents regularly can prevent premature failure of bearings, elements, ignitors and other important parts.
Refer to this list of guidelines to help you maintain your dryer:
- Cleaning the lint filters every time will enhance your results, you may also have to clean behind the dryer from time to time.
- 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.
- To help you dry difficult items like caps, sneakers, sweaters, stuffed toys, and pillows, you can purchase a special drying rack.
- Be careful when drying clothes stained with flammable substances (oils, gas or lighter fluids, stain removers, or other cleaning products), because there is a fire risk.
- Foam backed rugs should be air dried.
- Keeping your dryer a foot off the ground will make the dryer level with the washer and reduce bending.
- Remember never use white plastic exhaust duct or any sort of foil on your dryer, it is dangerous and can lead to longer drying times, just stick with a metal or rigid duct.

It is best to have qualified service personnel (UL - Underwriters Laboratories) perform your regular and emergency maintenance on your dryer.
