What Usually Goes Wrong
What Gets Fixed on a Georgetown Dryer Call
Why the Vent Matters
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.

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

Most dryer calls in Georgetown 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.
