Dryer Vent Information fo Carlsbad Residents
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that in 1998, clothes dryers were associated with 15,600 fires, which resulted in 20 deaths and 370 injuries. Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint can block the flow of air, cause excessive heat build-up, and result in a fire in some dryers.
To help prevent fires:
* Clean the lint screen/filter before or after drying each load of clothes. If clothing is still damp at the end of a typical drying cycle or drying requires longer times than normal, this may be a sign that the lint screen or the exhaust duct is blocked.
* Clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct periodically. Check the outside dryer vent while the dryer is operating to make sure exhaust air is escaping. If it is not, the vent or the exhaust duct may be blocked. To remove a blockage in the exhaust path, it may be necessary to disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer. Remember to reconnect the ducting to the dryer and outside vent before using the dryer again.
* Clean behind the dryer, where lint can build up. Have a qualified service person clean the interior of the dryer chassis periodically to minimize the amount of lint accumulation. Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter.
* Replace plastic or foil, accordion-type ducting material with rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct. Most manufacturers specify the use of a rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct, which provides maximum airflow. The flexible plastic or foil type duct can more easily trap lint and is more susceptible to kinks or crushing, which can greatly reduce the airflow.
* Take special care when drying clothes that have been soiled with volatile chemicals such as gasoline, cooking oils, cleaning agents, or finishing oils and stains. If possible, wash the clothing more than once to minimize the amount of volatile chemicals on the clothes and, preferably, hang the clothes to dry. If using a dryer, use the lowest heat setting and a drying cycle that has a cool-down period at the end of the cycle. To prevent clothes from igniting after drying, do not leave the dried clothes in the dryer or piled in a laundry basket.

3 Tips To Check If Your Dryer Stops Drying
Has your dryer stoped drying, check these 3 things before you call anybody to come check your dryer. 1)Check inside of your lint trap, if you see a lot of lint inside try and clean it with a shop vac or with your vacuum cleaner. Use the tool that is very narrow most times you should be able to get some lint out. 2) Remove the vent hose that is attached to your dryer and the wall and check inside of it, clean any lint or what ever is in there that should help also. 3) Stick your hand in the dryer vent that is running through your wall if you get a hand full of lint odds are that you have a lot more lint inside of your dryer vent. After you do these three things connect your dryer hose back to your dryer and your dryer vent and turn your dryer on. If it is not drying yet call a dryer vent company not a appliance repair. Hope these 3 tips help you. But if you still need help call us Nick's Dryer Vent and Air Duct Cleaning at 760-533-0783 or go to our web site http://www.gotdirtyvents.com
