A clogged dryer vent isn’t just inconvenient—it’s dangerous. Lint buildup can block airflow, leading to overheating and even house fires. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, dryer fires cause hundreds of injuries every year.
If your dryer is taking two or more cycles to dry clothing, your vent may be restricted. This is one of the most common early signs of vent blockage.
A burning odor often means lint is overheating. Shut down your dryer immediately and get the vent inspected by a professional.
Excessive lint inside or around the dryer door signals poor ventilation. Lint that doesn't exit through the vent is dangerous.
Overheating is a symptom of poor airflow. The dryer’s safety thermostat might shut it off mid-cycle to prevent fire.
Go outside and check the dryer vent while the dryer is running. If the flap barely moves or doesn’t open at all, that’s a serious airflow issue.
