The Usual Dryer Culprits in Albuquerque
What Gets Fixed on a Albuquerque 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.

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

Around Albuquerque
Most dryer calls in Albuquerque 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.
New Mexico has no appliance-repair-only license; installing, repairing and servicing natural gas piping and listed gas appliances falls under the Construction Industries Division's MM-2 natural gas fitting classification. Source: CID License Classifications and Scopes (City of Albuquerque)
