When it comes to knowing when your dryer vent needs to be cleaned, these are a few signs you should look out for:
- If it’s been over a year since you last had it cleaned
- If your laundry takes longer than normal to dry
- If your laundry is damp and hot after a cycle
- If your dryer stops working
- If you notice any burning smells
How Do I Know if My Dryer Vent Is Clogged?
It is important to regularly inspect your dryer vent for clogs and other obstructions, as these may become potential fire hazards. If your dryer takes longer than usual to dry clothes, or if the dryer and room become unusually hot when the dryer is in use, this could be an indication of a dryer vent clog. Another sign of a dryer vent clog is a musty odor coming from the dryer drum and exhaust duct. If you suspect your dryer vent may be clogged, it's important that you have it inspected by a professional who has experience dealing with dryers and vents. Ultimately, this will help ensure the safety of your home and appliance.
How Often Should I Do Dryer Vent Cleaning?
You should have your dryer vent professionally cleaned at least once every 3 to 12 months. The frequency can depend on the complexity of the dryer ventilation system and how often you use your dryer.
