Lint, Vents and Dryer Fires
Clean the vent pipe roughly once a year, or sooner if loads start taking longer to dry; a lint removal service can do this. Source: NFPA (via U.S. Department of Energy) - Clothes Dryer & Washing Machine Safety
Dryer exhaust must go outdoors, never into an attic, crawlspace or other building cavity; ventless dryers with a condensate drain are the exception. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting

Dryer Notes for Ottumwa, IA
Most dryer calls in Ottumwa come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Iowa does not issue a general appliance repair technician license; the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration and hydronic work, and state law carves out a special restricted license only for utility employees who repair appliances.
