How Commercial Laundry Repairs Differ
Commercial Laundry Problems Worth a Call
- Dry times creeping up across several machines
- Drum noise on a heavily used machine
- Burning smell or excess lint near the exhaust
- A machine takes payment but will not start
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.
Why the Vent Matters
Keep the area around the dryer clear of boxes, clothing and other combustibles, and do not machine-dry items soiled with flammable substances such as gasoline, cooking oil or paint thinner. Source: NFPA (via U.S. Department of Energy) - Clothes Dryer & Washing Machine Safety
Swap plastic or foil accordion-style dryer ducts for rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct, since flexible plastic and foil trap lint and crush or kink more easily. Source: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission - Overheated Clothes Dryers Can Cause Fires
Fasten duct joints with clamps or foil tape rather than screws, which protrude into the duct and snag lint. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting
