What Commercial Dryer Repair Covers
When to Call About a Commercial Machine
- Dry times creeping up across several machines

Common commercial lines include DR7, DR5, and DR3 from Speed Queen; ask any company you call which commercial brands it services. See Speed Queen dryer repair.
Check the Vent Before You Call
Clothes that are still damp after a normal cycle, longer-than-usual drying times, or little exhaust air coming out of the outside vent while the dryer runs can all point to a blocked lint screen or exhaust duct.

The outside termination should have a backdraft damper and no screen (screens trap lint), and the flap must open when the dryer runs and be kept clear of snow. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting
