Dryers and Lint and Heat, Oh My!

There is excess lint left on your clothing.

 

Excess lint on clothing after a dry cycle is a sign of accumulation of lint in your dryer vent. A dryer vent clogged with lint is a fire hazard and an energy hog.

 

 

Clothes are very hot after a dry cycle.

 

When clothing is hot after a drying cycle, it is a warning sign. There may be poor ventilation caused by a dryer vent clogged with lint, a bad vent connection, or a dryer vent joint that is not secure. These problems are not only a fire hazard, but over heating can also damage clothing.

 

SoBellas Dryer Vent Cleaning of El Paso will make sure your vents are constructed from rigid metal material with a smooth interior finish that allows lint to easily pass through. Other vent material types can lead to a variety of clogs and issues that are indicated by hot clothes. We will also correct poor connections and faulty joints.

 

The top of your dryer is hot to touch while operating.

 

A dryer that is hot to the touch while operating can be a sign of improper airflow. A clog in the dryer vent, improper vent installation, and even an obstruction near the vent cap can cause a hot dryer. If you notice that you have a hot dryer, make sure the exterior vent cap is not obstructed or covered with a cage which can increase lint collection and have your dryer vent cleaned by a professional once a year.

 

Having a hot dryer & hot clothes are both warning signs of dangerous lint buildup and clogs. Request an appointment online today to learn more or to schedule your dryer vent inspection and cleaning in El Paso, Texas.
