Faqs

If your dryer is running multiple cycles, it's a major sign of restricted airflow.

Overheating means the dryer is working too hard and lint is blocking the vent.

This is one of the biggest red flags — lint is extremely flammable and can ignite quickly.

This happens because blocked vents push hot, humid air back into your home.

Excess lint outside the dryer means it's escaping through the vent system.

Many modern dryers stop automatically when airflow is restricted.

Most manufacturers recommend professional cleanings every 12 months (more often for families with kids or pets).

If the flap doesn't open or is covered in lint, birds' nests, or debris — airflow is blocked.

This often means lint buildup is touching the heating element.

Lint traveling into places it shouldn't indicates a blockage or damaged duct.

Previous homeowners often forget to have vents cleaned or replace.
