Got a call in Long Pond today for a dryer that “just stopped drying.” Customer said they were running loads twice and the laundry room was getting hot.
Turns out the outside vent was painted completely shut by the painters.
The dryer had nowhere to push the air, so everything was backing up. Opened it up, checked the vent line, and airflow was back to normal.
Crazy how something small like that can cause such a big problem. If your dryer suddenly starts taking forever to dry, definitely check the outside vent first.
