Why does my dryer get very hot, but the clothes stay wet?

When hot air cannot escape through the vent, heat builds up inside the dryer while moisture stays trapped in the load. This typically indicates restricted airflow rather than a heating issue.

Does the length of my vent pipe affect drying speed?

Yes, longer vent runs slow airflow and make it harder for moist air to exit, which often leads to extended drying cycles.

Why is there lint building up behind my dryer?

Lint buildup behind the dryer often means the vent connection is loose, damaged, or partially blocked, allowing debris to escape instead of venting outdoors.

Do weather conditions in Atlanta affect dryer performance?

High humidity levels in Georgia can make it harder for your dryer to exhaust moist air if the vent is even slightly restricted.

How often should dryer vents be checked in Atlanta homes?

Most households should schedule a professional inspection annually to prevent lint buildup and maintain a clear system. Homes with large families or pets need more frequent service to maintain optimal efficiency and safety.
