The Usual Dryer Culprits in Heath
What a Dryer Repair Technician Checks
Lint, Vents and Dryer Fires
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.

Under the model residential code approach, a 4-inch dryer exhaust duct is limited to 35 feet of equivalent length, minus 2.5 feet for each 45-degree bend and 5 feet for each 90-degree bend, unless the dryer manufacturer's installation instructions set a different maximum.
