Dryer Vents and Fire Safety
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
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.

Budgeting for Commercial Repairs
Commercial repair pricing varies with the machine and the payment system, so treat home-dryer ranges as a floor. Published ranges:
- Drum bearing replacement: $100–$250 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dryer?
- Heating element replacement: $150–$350 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dryer?
- Igniter replacement (gas dryer): $100–$250 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dryer?
- Service call fee (may be waived if the technician does the repair): $50–$80 per visit Source: Angi - How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Dryer?
Replacement makes more sense once a dryer is about 10 years old or past half its expected lifespan. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dryer?
