Start with the accessible lint filter

Clean it as directed by the dryer manufacturer. Do not dismantle the appliance or enter a roof space to look for a blockage.

Tell us where the vent exits

A roof or wall termination changes the access needed. Mention any recent move, crushed connector or vent that has come apart.

Separate cleaning from repair

Lint can be removed. A crushed or disconnected run needs repair. If the vent checks clear, arrange appliance diagnosis instead of repeated vent cleaning.

This guide explains the service. The appliance instructions, site conditions and applicable local requirements determine the work.
