What Can Clogg Your Dryer Vents

The dryer vent of your dryer system gets clogged with time and produces a fire hazard. A clogged dryer vent can be caused by lint buildup in the ventilation system, or by items like wrappers. To prevent risk of fire, your dryer may be warning you by shutting down.

If you find that your dryer system still isn’t working properly after vacuuming it out several times, check physical blockages in the dryer vent. Lint clogs into your dryer at different openings where air circulates through your dryer. Over time, this lint accumulates and blocks the dryer vent, making it hard for the hot air to escape.

Things that can clog your dryer vent 

•  Lint Buildup 

•  Dryer Vent Screens 

•  Foreign Objects 

•  Softener Residue

Warning Signs of Clogged Dryer Vents 

Excessive Lint Buildup

If there is a huge amount of lint surrounding your dryer system, the dryer vents or even in the lent tray it may be time to have your dryer vents cleaned. When the lint has no place to escape out of the dryer vents it will spill onto the floor or worse into the appliance.

Overheating 

If there is too much lint build up into the dryer system it can easily overheat. If you notice your dryer smelling or overheating make sure to turn it off immediately and check your dryer vents for blockages.
