Use your senses to see if your dryer is functioning in a healthy way.
Touch.
Does your dryer have a fever?
Is it warm to the touch?
There are several possible causes for this, it’s worth scheduling an appointment to get it checked out.
Is your laundry room warm?
We recommend a dryer vent analysis and cleaning as a first step.
Sound.
Does your dryer cough, sneeze or wheeze?
Unusual noises, like squeaks, rumbles or screeches, should be checked ASAP to minimize damage.
Checking right away could save you money on a repair and get your dryer back to its best.
Smell.
Does your dryer smell bad?
A burning smell is a sure sign of a problem, but it could be minor, so get it checked out ASAP by scheduling an appointment.
Sight.
Does your dryer chew up your clothes?
The inside or outside of the drum might need attention and can be treated by scheduling a service appointment to determine the cause and make a repair.
And…
Is your dryer venting floppy?
Flexible venting is usually not appropriate for venting dryers. In fact, the packaging on flexible venting will often say that it’s not suitable for use on dryers.
Replace it ASAP and have the dryer checked internally for lint build up.
