Do I Really Need a Technician? Tip #3

Is your dryer taking too long to dry clothes? 

First, make sure your lint screen is cleaned after every cycle of clothes. Then buy yourself a special brush designed to get down deep into the vent area and clean out all the build up of lint. Make sure your vent behind the dryer is not kinked and the entire vent to the outside is not blocked by lint.  Lint brushes are available at Bennet's Appliance stores.


Check your circuit breakers or fuse box to make sure you are getting 220 volts to your dryer. With one fuse burned out, you may only receive 120 volts, the motor will turn the dryer but you will not get enough heat to dry your clothes.
If this does not solve your problem, call for service.
