Under the model residential code approach, a 4-inch dryer exhaust duct is limited to 35 feet of equivalent length, minus 2.5 feet for each 45-degree bend and 5 feet for each 90-degree bend, unless the dryer manufacturer's installation instructions set a different maximum.

- Igniter replacement (gas dryer): $100–$250 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dryer?
