Why is my dryer taking too long to dry?

Lint buildup or blocked vents restrict airflow, forcing your dryer to run longer and harder.

Why does my dryer feel too hot?

Poor airflow traps heat inside, which can damage components and increase fire risk.

Can lint around the door seal be a problem?

Yes. It means lint is escaping the airflow path, often due to a clogged or leaking vent system.

Will cleaning fix most dryer problems?

In most cases, yes. Cleaning and inspecting your vent restores efficiency and prevents overheating.

How often should I schedule service?

We recommend at least once a year—or every 6 months for frequent laundry users.

Experiencing Dryer Problems? We Can Help.

If your dryer is taking too long, overheating, or leaving clothes damp, it’s a clear sign something’s wrong with your vent system. Most dryer problems come from lint buildup, blockages, or poor vent design that restricts airflow. When air can’t flow properly, your dryer works harder, uses more energy, and wears out faster—sometimes even creating fire risks.

Common Dryer Problems Start with the Vent

A dryer that runs too hot, takes forever to dry, or has lint around the door seal isn’t just inconvenient—it’s unsafe. Most of these issues come from airflow restrictions inside the vent system.
