Why are tenants reporting that the dryer stopped heating?

Restricted airflow from clogged or poorly designed vent systems can cause dryers to overheat and shut down as a safety measure. Routine vent cleaning helps prevent these shutdowns and keeps dryers heating properly.

What causes a dryer not to spin in multi-unit properties?

A dryer that won’t spin may have mechanical issues such as worn belts or motors, but lint buildup around internal components can also contribute. Proper vent maintenance helps reduce strain on these parts.

If a dryer won’t start, is it always an electrical issue?

No. Many dryers shut down due to tripped safety sensors caused by overheating or blocked vents. Identifying airflow problems often resolves these issues without replacing the appliance.

How often should dryer vents be cleaned in apartment buildings?

Most Rutherford County multi-unit properties should schedule dryer vent cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Buildings with higher occupancy or shared laundry rooms may require more frequent service.

Do you offer full-building maintenance plans?

Yes. We provide customized maintenance plans for apartment complexes, HOAs, and multi-unit buildings, including service documentation to support inspections and compliance.

Dryer Problems Property Managers Face in Rutherford County
