What happens during the visit
A restricted vent makes the dryer run longer and wear out sooner. Birds and debris can block the outside hood completely.
Check the run
The connector, wall duct and outside hood are looked at, and airflow is checked.
Clean
Rotary brushes and air move lint out of the whole run.
Clear the hood
The outside termination is cleaned and its flap checked.
Re-test
Airflow is checked again and the dryer is reconnected.
Checked on every visit
- Vent length and number of bends
- Connector behind the dryer
- Joints and foil tape
- Outside hood, flap and screen
- Airflow at the outside hood
How to prepare
- If the dryer isn't overheating or smelling of burning, you can run an empty load first to compare airflow before and after.
- Make sure the outside vent hood can be reached.
- Clear space around the dryer so it can be pulled out.
Burning smell?
If you smell burning while the dryer runs, turn it off and unplug it until the vent is checked.
