If your dryer isn’t performing well and it’s relatively new, professional diagnostics can help determine if it’s repairable or if replacement is more cost-effective.

An overly hot dryer might signal a blocked vent, overworking the appliance. Having the vent cleaned can reduce heat buildup and improve safety.

Regular dryer inspections are recommended once a year to catch issues early and maintain safe operation.

Signs of a clogged dryer vent include longer drying times, excess heat, and lint around the dryer. Regular vent cleaning can prevent these issues.
