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

What Dayton Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Dayton 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.
Nevada has no license class for appliance repair as such; contracting work on gas piping, gas vents and water heaters falls under the State Contractors Board's C-1 plumbing and heating subclassifications. Source: Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 624 (NAC 624.190)
In Nevada, you can check a license with the Nevada State Contractors Board License Search or report a problem to the Nevada Attorney General, Bureau of Consumer Protection.
