Dryer Vents and Fire 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

Dryer Notes for South Hill, WA
Most dryer calls in South Hill 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.
Washington's Department of Labor & Industries issues an appliance repair (07D) specialty electrician certificate that covers like-for-like repair and replacement of self-contained appliances such as ovens on an unchanged circuit, but excludes branch-circuit wiring and plumbing work.

Washington's state plumber certification law defines plumbing as potable water, waste, medical gas and similar systems and does not list fuel gas piping, so gas line work is not part of the state plumber certificate. Source: Chapter 18.106 RCW, Plumbers
