Q: How do I know if my dryer is overheating?

• <div><p>You will know if your dryer is overheating by placing your hand on top to feel its temperature. If it&rsquo;s hot to the touch, that&rsquo;s a clear sign the dryer is overheated. Other signs include your laundry coming out hotter than usual, a burnt smell when it&rsquo;s running, or burn marks on your laundry. </p></div>

Q: Can you use a leaf blower to clean a dryer vent?

• <div><p>Using a leaf blower to clean your dryer vent is not recommended. While it might seem like a quick solution, it can push lint and debris further into the vent, creating a blockage, making the problem worse, and posing a fire hazard. The force from the blower could also damage the vent itself.

Q: What air vents do I have in my home?

• <div><p>You have two different types of air vents in your home: supply and return air vents. Your supply air vents are responsible for pushing air into your home. Meanwhile, return air vents draw warmer air back into the ductwork to condition it by removing the warm molecules from it. Both types of vents are necessary to a working HVAC system and a comfortable home.</p></div>

A basic wipedown of the drum every few months and a deep clean of the exhaust vent once a year are beneficial, too. </p></div>

Q: How often should you clean a dryer?

• <div><p>The frequency of cleaning your dryer depends on how often you use it. For regular households, it is recommended to clean the lint trap after each load of laundry. Additionally, thorough cleaning of the dryer&mdash;lint trap, drum, and exterior&mdash;should be done every few months. It's important to pay attention to the vent system as well. Ideally, it should be cleaned at least once a year, or six months if your dryer takes care of huge loads often, or more frequently if you notice reduced drying efficiency.</p></div>
