Homeowner’s Dryer Maintenance Guide
Our average humidity creates a unique problem where dryer lint becomes wet and sticky, clogging the walls of your vent pipes like cement. Luckily, other than this issue, dryers are typically low maintenance. Here are some simple things you can do to keep your dryer working.
If there’s any repairs needed, please do not DIY and instead call a professional.
1. Sticky Lint Blocking Dryer Vents
Once a month, go outside and check your external vent hood (usually on the side of the house). Make sure the flapper isn’t stuck shut with lint. Then, disconnect the flexible hose from the back of your dryer and vacuum it out completely.
2. Cleaning Dryer Motion Sensors
Locate the two metal strips inside the drum (usually sitting right next to the lint filter). Scrub them vigorously with a cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol.

FAQs
If you’re running into dryer issues but don’t know exactly what’s going on, let us help. Here are a few common questions we get during our repair jobs.
Why is my dryer not heating up?
A dryer may not heat up due to a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a broken thermal fuse. A qualified technician can diagnose the issue and replace the necessary parts to restore proper heating.
What should I do if my dryer is making loud noises during operation?
Loud noises from a dryer can indicate problems with the drum bearings, rollers, or belt. It’s important to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage to the dryer. A technician can inspect the dryer and replace any worn or damaged components to eliminate the noise.
Why is my dryer taking too long to dry clothes?
A dryer that takes longer than usual to dry clothes may have a clogged vent, a malfunctioning heating element, or inadequate airflow. Cleaning the lint trap and vent hose regularly can help improve airflow and reduce drying times. If the issue persists, a technician can inspect the dryer and make any necessary repairs.
What should I do if my dryer keeps shutting off mid-cycle?
If a dryer shuts off unexpectedly during a cycle, it may be overheating due to a blocked vent or a malfunctioning thermostat. Checking the vent for obstructions and cleaning it thoroughly can help prevent overheating. If the problem persists, a technician can diagnose and repair the underlying issue.
How often should I clean my dryer's lint trap?
It’s important to clean the dryer’s lint trap after every use to prevent lint buildup, improve airflow, and reduce the risk of fire. Additionally, the dryer vent should be cleaned at least once a year to remove any accumulated lint and debris.
Is it worth repairing an older dryer, or should I replace it?
The decision to repair or replace an older dryer depends on the extent of the damage, the cost of repairs, and the age of the appliance. In many cases, repairing a dryer can be more cost-effective than replacing it, especially if the repairs are minor and the dryer is still in good condition otherwise. A qualified technician can assess the dryer and provide guidance on the best course of action.
