What Usually Goes Wrong
What a Dryer Repair Technician Checks
Why the Vent Matters
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

What Edgewood Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Edgewood 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.
Washington's Department of Labor & Industries issues an appliance repair (07D) specialty electrician certificate that covers like-for-like repair and replacement of self-contained appliances such as ovens on an unchanged circuit, but excludes branch-circuit wiring and plumbing work.

Washington's state plumber certification law defines plumbing as potable water, waste, medical gas and similar systems and does not list fuel gas piping, so gas line work is not part of the state plumber certificate. Source: Chapter 18.106 RCW, Plumbers
