Why the Vent Matters

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

Dryer Notes for Covington, WA
Most dryer calls in Covington 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.
