Why Dryers Break Down
What a Dryer Repair Technician Checks
Lint, Vents and Dryer Fires

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
