What Gets Fixed on a Jericho Dryer Call
Lint, Vents and Dryer Fires
Never run a dryer without its lint filter, and clean the filter before or after every load; also clear lint that collects behind the dryer. Source: U.S. Fire Administration (FEMA) - Clothes Dryer 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
Fasten duct joints with clamps or foil tape rather than screws, which protrude into the duct and snag lint. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting
