Preventative Dryer Maintenance: Save Time, Money & Keep Your Home Safe
Your dryer works hard every week. With a few quick habits, you can lower energy costs, prevent breakdowns, and reduce fire risk. Here’s our pro checklist to keep your dryer running safely and efficiently.
Why Dryer Maintenance Matters
- Lower utility bills: Clean airflow = shorter dry times.
- Fewer repairs: Prevent overheating and part failures.
- Fire safety: Lint is highly flammable—keep it under control.
- Longer lifespan: Well-maintained dryers last years longer.
Top Maintenance Tips from Our Techs
- Clean the lint filter after every load.
- Inspect & clean the vent annually. Heavy users may need cleaning every 12–18 months.
- Use the right venting. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is safest and most efficient.
- Don’t overload. Oversized loads strain the motor and heater—and don’t dry evenly.
- Check door gasket & drum seals. Replace if cracked or loose.
- Get a professional tune-up. A tech can catch worn parts before they fail.
