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
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
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

What Independence Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Independence 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.
Gas appliance and mechanical trade credentials are issued by local governments; Kansas City, for example, certifies gas-fired appliance supervisors, mechanical supervisors and master pipe fitters. Source: KCMO BizCare: Contractor Licensing
In Missouri, you can report a problem to the Missouri Attorney General's Office, Consumer Protection.
