Tips for Dryer Maintenance

If you have questions, submit through the comments, that way some one else can read and learn too.

My tip for Dryers . If you take care of your dryer by making sure you empty out the lint filter, very important. Your dryer will last.
If you live upstairs with a dryer vent goes up towards the roof... not good idea.You will need a professional dryer service tech to clean the duct work. Vent cleaning service . I say atleast once a year have the dryer vent serviced. I do not agree with builders who will have dryer duct venting to the roof.
Open your dryer, do you see the vent holes in the back. They are there for a reason. If you fill your dryer and clothes covers the holes on the back of the dryer tub vent holes.  How is your dryer suppose to breath. Do Not have a huge load that these holes are not visible.  Make sure your dryer vent hose is in good shape, no holes and the shape is very important. DO NOT squash the hose. The hose needs to be good round shape --No FootBall shape. Round shape
for  example if you place a toy ball in side the hose .....with dryer in place would that imaginary ball make it through your dryer vent hose curves from your dryer to the wall outlet. or due to it being squashed down, that imaginary ball would get stuck. if it would get stuck - then fix it  make it rounder, do not add any restriction to the air flowing out. Keep the dryer several inches from the wall for breathing room
