Have You Cleaned Your Dryer Vent Lately?

Blocked Dryer Vents Are the

#1 Cause of House Fires 

Many homeowners don’t realize that blocked dryer vents are the leading cause of house fires related to home appliances. Lint, dust, and debris can quickly accumulate inside the vent line, restricting airflow and causing the dryer to overheat. This hidden fire hazard is especially dangerous in homes across Fayette, Coweta, Pike, and Henry counties, where long vent runs and infrequent cleanings are common. A simple load of laundry can turn into a disaster if your vent is clogged. That’s why at John’s Heating, Cooling, and Appliance Repair, we strongly recommend annual dryer vent cleaning to keep your home safe, energy-efficient, and code-compliant. Protect your family by preventing the #1 appliance-related cause of house fires before it strikes.

If Your Dryer Won’t Start:

• Make sure the door is fully closed. Open and shut it firmly to be sure.
• Check the door switch to ensure it’s functioning properly.
• Confirm the dryer is receiving power. If the display lights don’t come on, check your home’s breaker panel.
• Ensure the dryer is plugged directly into a wall outlet—not into an extension cord.

If Clothes Are Taking Too Long to Dry:

• Double-check your cycle selection. "Air Dry" or "Air Fluff" cycles use no heat and take longer to dry clothes.
• Inspect the exhaust vent and lint trap for clogs or blockages.
• Look behind the dryer to make sure the vent hose isn’t kinked or crushed.
• Keep the vent hose as short and straight as possible to improve airflow.
• If you have a gas dryer, confirm that gas is reaching the appliance:
• Try turning on the burners on your gas range.
• Check if the pilot light is lit on your water heater.

If Your Dryer Is Making Strange Noises:

• Clicking sounds are normal in gas dryers when the gas valve cycles.
• Always check and empty your pockets before drying to avoid coins or loose objects causing noise.
• If you hear banging or thumping, stop the cycle and check for anything loose in the drum.
• Ensure the dryer is level and that all four feet are firmly on the floor to minimize vibration and noise.

If Your Dryer Won’t Heat:

Whether gas or electric, if your dryer tumbles but doesn’t heat, check these:

• Inspect the thermal fuse—it may have overheated and blown.
• In gas dryers, check the igniter. If it’s not glowing, it can’t ignite the gas.
• Inspect the radiant sensor and gas valve coils (for gas dryers only).
• In electric dryers, the heating element may have failed. You can test it with a multimeter.
• Confirm that the gas valve coils are powering up properly if it’s a gas unit.

Are You Overloading the Dryer?

Overloading is a common issue. Clothes need room to tumble freely so hot air can circulate and dry them evenly. Always follow the capacity guidelines of your dryer.

Are Your Clothes Too Wet After Washing?

If clothes come out dripping wet, the problem may be your washer. Dryers aren’t built to handle overly wet loads. Ensure the washer is spinning and draining properly.

Is the Dryer Plugged In?

If your dryer isn’t responding at all:

• Check the outlet and ensure the plug is securely in place.
• Confirm there’s power to the control panel.
• If the panel lights are on, check the door switch—it may be faulty.

Dryer Not Drying Clothes Properly?

 Try This:

If you have to run multiple cycles to get clothes dry, your dryer vent may be clogged. Check the vent duct from the back of the dryer to the wall, and then from the wall to the exterior. This is one of the most common causes of dryer inefficiency—and a significant fire hazard if left uncleaned. We recommend professional vent cleaning at least once a year.
