Novato Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Provides Hot Warning Signs from the Dryer

(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, February 21, 2014 ) Novato, CA – According to the Novato Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard, increased drying time is a warning sign pointing to a fire hazard. Sadly, many people think it indicates aging or wear so they continue overworking their clothes dryer, unaware of the hazard lurking inside. Unlike most appliances, when a dryer begins losing efficiency, it is not a normal sign of aging. It is likely caused by a clogged dryer vent restricting air flow.

Increased drying time, especially with jeans and towels, usually means restricted airflow caused by an obstructed dryer vent system. Lint accumulation is typically the culprit. Excess dryer lint can cause damage to the dryer and it is a major fire hazard. Rhonda Nole, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (www.dryerventcleaningnovato.com/) compares an overheating clothes dryer to a ticking time bomb, about to explode into flames with the next load of laundry!

Restricted airflow has an adverse effect on dryer performance. It hinders efficiency and leads to higher energy bills. Warning signs from the dryer include increased drying time, repeatedly stopping during a cycle, clothes being hot after a cycle and the top of the dryer hot to touch while operating.

A safety feature added to some models makes the dryer stop during a cycle if it is overheating. A dryer vent clogged with lint or other obstructions will force the dryer to work harder and longer, causing it to overheat. The overheat shutoff is the dryer’s attempt to prevent a fire.

When the laundry room is especially hot and humid when the dryer is operating or the top of the dryer is hot to touch then this is a sign of improper airflow. A clogged dryer vent, or improper dryer vent installation can lead to this problem. When clothes are hot after a drying cycle this is also a warning sign of poor ventilation.

A hot dryer and hot clothes are both warning signs of lint building up and causing a clog. Dryer Vent Wizard will do a complete dryer vent inspection to be sure it is installed correctly, using the right materials and he will make sure there are no obstructions in the system that can restrict airflow. He will also check for faulty joints and poor connections to ensure maximum efficiency. Visit www.dryerventwizarddryerventcleaning.com to learn more.
