What a Dryer Repair Technician Checks

Care Kenmore Recommends for Its Dryers

• If the lint screen looks clogged when held to the light, scrub it with hot soapy water and a stiff brush and let it dry fully before reinstalling. Source: Kenmore - Kenmore Elite Steam Dryer Use & Care Guide (796.8178/796.9178)
• Clean the lint trap after every load, since lint that gets past it builds up in the vent and lengthens drying times. Source: Kenmore - 3 Reasons to Clean Your Dryer Vent (And How to Do It)

Before the Technician Arrives

• How long the vent run is and where it exits the house

Most dryer calls in Youngsville 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.

How to Choose a Dryer Technician Near Youngsville

• Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?
• What guarantee do you give on parts and labor?
• Can you look at the washer on the same visit if it is acting up too?
