How To Tell If You Have A Blocked Dryer Vent Before It's A Big Problem
By ANDREA ROMANO
It's important to keep your dryer vent clean and clear, not only so your appliance is in the best working condition but also so as not to pose a risk to yourself or your property.
There are a few signs to look out for before an accident happens — for example, if your dryer is not working the way it used to and is taking a longer time to dry your clothes.
Some other things to look out for include a musty or burning smell whenever you use the dryer, excess heat, or finding more lint on your clothes or around the appliance itself.
