Can you clean the roof vent on my Concord dryer, or only fix the dryer?

We check airflow and clear the duct sections we can reach safely from the dryer and the wall. If the restriction is high on a roof termination, we will tell you and suggest a vent cleaning service that works on roofs. Fixing the dryer without fixing the airflow usually means the same part fails again.

My Harrisburg dryer stops halfway through the cycle. Is that the motor?

It can be, but it is more often overheating from restricted airflow or a failing thermal component. We test the motor, thermostats and vent airflow to tell the difference. The visit ends with a clear diagnosis and a price before any work.

Long vent runs, pollen and lint

Newer two-story houses usually put the dryer on the second floor with a vent that runs up through the attic or across to a side wall. Every extra foot and every bend lets lint settle, and spring pine pollen can coat the outside flap. When airflow drops, the dryer heats the same air over and over, cycles on its high-limit thermostat and eventually blows a thermal fuse.

A safe first check: with the dryer running, step outside and feel for strong air at the vent hood. Clean the lint screen and look for a kinked foil duct behind the machine. With a gas dryer, if you ever smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 before anything else.

Repairs handled on the visit

The technician tests heating elements or gas igniters and valve coils, thermal fuses, belts, rollers and the moisture sensor, and measures airflow at the dryer. Older dryers in houses near downtown Concord often vent a shorter distance, but through ducts that were crushed during remodels. Either way, you get the diagnosis and price first.

Before You Book: Dryer Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent dryer problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Dryer OverheatingSafety: Stop using the dryer, unplug it, and clean the lint screen and the area under it; do not keep running loads until it has been checked.
Dryer Venting ImproperlySafety: Look behind the dryer and in the attic or crawl space near the laundry room for lint deposits or a loose duct; a gas dryer should never vent indoors, so stop using it until corrected.
Tripping Circuit BreakerSafety: Leave the breaker off and the dryer unplugged after a second trip; repeatedly resetting it can damage wiring, and this is a line-voltage problem not to troubleshoot yourself.
Burning SmellSafety: Stop the dryer immediately, unplug it or turn off the breaker, and do not restart it; if you see smoke or flame, leave and call 911.
