Dryer vent cleaning involves removing dust particles and debris from both the dryer vent and filters. Clogged vents can significantly reduce the efficiency of your dryer. In Canada, it is essential that all North American-style clothes dryers are kept clean. This task should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. The Government of Ontario recommends cleaning dryer vents annually to remove accumulated lint, not only from the rotating drum but also from other areas where it can build up. Additionally, a loose wire inside the clothes dryer could cause a spark, posing a fire hazard. The frequency of this service depends on several factors. If your dryer duct is not 4 inches in diameter, lint may not flow as effectively, necessitating more frequent cleaning.
Pay attention to the following warning signs that indicate your dryer vent may need cleaning:
Long Drying Times: If your clothes are still not dry after using the dryer for hours, it’s a sign that your dryer vent needs servicing.
Wet Clothes: If clothes remain wet after a full drying cycle, your vent may not be functioning properly.
Hot Clothes: If your clothes feel excessively hot to the touch after drying, it’s likely time to clean the dryer vent.
Hot Exterior: If the outside of your dryer becomes hot during or after use, it indicates a need for service.
Low Exhaust Velocity: If the external vent cover is not opening fully, your dryer vent exhaust velocity is low and needs proper cleaning.
Humid or Burnt Smell: An unusually humid laundry area or a burning smell is a serious indicator that you should have your dryer vent cleaned immediately.
