Is your dryer failing to heat? You’re probably thinking, “Do I need to spend money on repairs?” Good news: you probably don’t. Most of the time, the solution is a clogged vent. And you can fix that in no time. What to Check First Before calling a repairman, check your dryer vent. Sometimes, your dryer does not heat because of lint built up in the vent. Lint clogs up your vent, trapping the heat. Your dryer then does not heat up.
What to Do:
- Turn Off & Unplug the Dryer
- Clean the Lint Filter.
- Disconnect the Vent Hose.
- Remove lint from the vent & duct.
- Reconnect & Test.
