Why do my clothes smell musty after drying?

Moisture gets trapped in the vent and combines with lint, forming mildew that causes a musty smell to return to your laundry.

Can a clogged vent make clothes stay damp?

Yes, when airflow gets blocked, humid air tends to stay inside the dryer and recirculate rather than venting out, which can cause issues.

Why is there water dripping from my dryer vent?

Condensation happens when warm, moist air has trouble escaping—often because of a blocked or crushed vent line.

Does Benton County’s climate make this problem worse?

Definitely, when seasonal rain and humidity are high, vents tend to stay damp, which can turn lint into a sticky mess that captures odors.

Is moldy smell at home a dryer safety concern?

Yes, it indicates inadequate airflow, which could cause the dryer to overheat and potentially increase the risk of a fire.
