How Commercial Laundry Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Machine
- One pocket of a stacked dryer not heating
- Drum noise on a heavily used machine
- Dry times creeping up across several machines
- Burning smell or excess lint near the exhaust
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.
Lint, Vents and Dryer Fires
Clothes that are still damp after a normal cycle, longer-than-usual drying times, or little exhaust air coming out of the outside vent while the dryer runs can all point to a blocked lint screen or exhaust duct.

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
