Some dryer information.
If your dryer loads are taking more the 30-40 minutes, you are wasting money and you better check your dryer vent. The better a dryer vent blows, the less lint builds up in it. Short vents blow better than long ones. Full size dryers blow better than smaller stack dryers do. Older dryers also do not blow very well. If the dryer vent has a lot of turns and elbows, it will take longer to dry cloths at a higher energy cost. Sometimes the dryer vent is full of lint or clogged. A plugged vent will cause a dryer to run hotter and increase the chance of a fire. A dirty vent, however, is only one link in a chain of events that must occur for a fire to start. Other events may include failure of thermostat and high limit switches in the dryer, lint inside the dryer, a missing or damaged lint screen, and a crushed hose behind the dryer.
Rule of thumb: Dryer length should be less than 25 feet minus 5 feet for every 90 bend and minus 2.5 feet for every 45 bend.
A few tips: Clean the lint screen filter before or after drying each load of clothes. Clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct periodically. Clean behind the dryer, where lint can build up. Replace plastic or foil, accordion-type ducting material with rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct when needed.
Take special care when drying clothes that have been soiled with flammable volatile chemicals.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that in 1998, clothes dryers were associated with 15,600 fires, which resulted in 20 deaths and 370 injuries.
