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 Southbridge, MA
Most dryer calls in Southbridge 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.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
Questions to Ask a Southbridge Technician
- Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?
