If your dryer is not collecting lint, it can indicate potential larger issues. After a drying cycle, lint should be visible on the lint screen. If not, the lint may be backing up in your dryer or creating an obstruction. Both of these increase the risk of overheating and fire. Be sure to clean and inspect the lint trap after each drying cycle and contact Dryer Vent Wizard to inspect your system if it isn’t collecting lint.

Dryer Vent Cleaning
If there’s no lint on the lint screen, we recommend scheduling a dryer vent cleaning. Lint and debris bypassing the lint trap accumulates in the vent system and obstructs airflow, creating performance and safety issues. A thorough cleaning removes this buildup to promote proper airflow and reduce risks.

Dryer Vent Debris and Clog Removal
If your dryer is not collecting lint on the lint screen, over time, it will accumulate in the vent system. Removing debris and clogs from your dryer vent system helps prevent restricted airflow, longer drying times, and damp clothes. Our Dryer Vent Wizard® team will remove debris and clogs so you can get back to normal.

Booster Fan Cleaning
Your dryer may have difficulty expelling lint to the proper place, but a booster fan can provide some extra help. Cleaning the booster fan allows for additional airflow and ensures that lint getting past the trap is properly expelled.
