Dryer Vent Cleaning in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Areas of TX
Dryers only work right if their exhaust vent is clear. A reason many dryers fail is because of uncleaned vent systems. Checking dryer vents regularly can prevent premature failure of bearings, elements, ignitors and other important parts.
Some tips that will ensure your clothing drying is working safely and efficiently are:
- Frequent lint vent cleanings and cleaning behind the dryer are important ways to improve dryer productivity.
- If only drying a few items the dryer will work best if the items are of different sizes, and dryers with Auto-Dry cycles with not dry properly if the load is too small.
- Drying racks for caps, sneakers, sweaters, stuffed toys, and pillows are available from your dealer and many other stores.
- If there are any combustible materials (any gas or lighter fluid, motor oil, or cleaning products) on your clothes, you should not put them in a dryer.
- Foam backed rugs should be air dried.
- Dryers are easiest to use when they are level with the washer and raised about a foot off the ground to minimize bending.
- Make sure you never use foil or white plastic ducts on your dryer because they cause the dryer to be inefficient and are flammable, use metal or rigid ducts instead.
If you dryer is improperly vented or clogged it can lead to:
- The dryer can be too loud
- Clothes get too hot which is bad for perma-press
- Increased drying times
- Early failure of heating element, motor or bearings
- Automatic sensors may fail
- Clothes come out of the dryer still damp and hot
Vertical vents runs that get clogged can rapidly cause the motor, drum rollers,and heater to fail. When hiring to have your dryer fixed, always choose qualified service personnel (UL - Underwriters Laboratories).
