Test Dryer
- Set your dryer for Normal Dry and turn it on.
- Wait three minutes for the dryer to get up to temperature.
- Go outside and feel the exhaust coming out of the dryer vent tube. The volume of air and the heat should feel like a hair dryer.
- If you DON’T feel a strong volume of air, accumulating lint is most likely clogging the moist airflow. Move on to the next step.
- If you DO feel a strong volume of air, then you know the problem isn’t the common clogged vent tube. Instead, the issue is the less-common failed heating system which will take a pro to resolve. My guess is it’s a blown (and inexpensive) hi-limit fuse.
- If your dryer tube vents on the roof, which is common in condos and apartments, proceed to Step 4. (Lint clogs vertically vented tubes much faster because the blower fan has to fight gravity to get the moist air out of the dryer.)
