When was the last time you cleaned more than just your dryer’s lint trap? Lint buildup and restricted airflow can make your dryer work harder, increase drying times, and create a potential fire hazard.
The U.S. Fire Administration reports that failure to clean was the leading contributing factor in 31% of home clothes-dryer fires from 2018–2020. They also recommend cleaning dryer vent ductwork annually.
Top Appliance Repair recommends keeping the lint screen clean, making sure airflow isn’t restricted, and having the dryer and vent system properly maintained.
If your dryer is taking too long to dry clothes, overheating, or not working like it used to, Top Appliance Repair provides dryer repair throughout Plainfield, Joliet, Shorewood, Romeoville, Minooka, and surrounding Will County communities.
