Kenmore dryer vent cleaning
The single most useful thing anybody can do for a dryer here, and the honest answer to a large share of no-heat and long-cycle calls. South Florida vent runs are longer and flatter than the ones these machines were designed around, and they carry damp air that packs lint down rather than blowing it through.

On the visit
How this visit actually goes
The same order every time, so nothing is opened and nothing is charged before you have seen the figure and said yes.
-
01
Measure the airflow first
At the outside hood, with the dryer running. A number now means the result is comparable afterward.
-
02
Clear the duct end to end
Brushed and drawn through rather than blown at. Blowing lint down a long horizontal run moves the blockage rather than removing it.
-
03
The hood and its flap
A damper that has stopped opening blocks a perfectly clean duct, and so does a bird.
-
04
The transition behind the machine
Crushed flexible duct behind a dryer pushed back to the wall is extremely common and undoes everything else.
-
05
Measure again
Same measurement, same place. If it has not improved, the duct was not the problem and we say so.

Electric and gas · 110, 796 and 417 Kenmore dryer repair in Miami
Electric and gas dryers built by Whirlpool, LG and Frigidaire under the badge. On this appliance the single most useful thing we can tell you is that a large share of no-heat and long-cycle calls are the vent rather than the dryer — and in South Florida houses the vent runs are longer, flatter and wetter than the ones these machines were designed around.
- 110 is Whirlpool-built, 796 is LG-built, 417 is Frigidaire-built
- The vent causes more of these calls than any part does
- Gas and electric fail in different places

About Kenmore dryer vent cleaning
About dryer ducts in South Florida
Houses here tend to have long horizontal duct runs rather than short vertical ones, and the air moving through them is already humid, so damp lint packs rather than blowing through. A dryer in this county reaches the point of taking two cycles years earlier than the same machine in a dry climate, and the owner concludes the appliance is worn out when the duct is simply full. A restricted duct is also what kills heat circuits: cut-offs open because they are supposed to, and that repair costs half as much again as this visit. Airflow is measured at the outlet before and after.

Questions about Kenmore dryer vent cleaning
How do I know if it is the duct?
Feel the air at the outside vent while the dryer runs. A trickle rather than a push is your answer, and it is not a repair.
Is this genuinely a fire risk?
Yes, and a recognized one. Lint is fuel and a restricted duct makes heat build where it should not. That is a large part of why this is the lowest figure on the site.
