Clothes Need More Than One Cycle
When a dryer that normally dries clothes in one cycle suddenly begins taking longer, it may be struggling to move heat and moisture through the vent because of hidden buildup, damage, or debris.

Longer drying cycles, excess heat around the dryer or laundry room, or weak airflow at the outside vent can mean lint, damage, or debris is restricting the exhaust.

These are common signs that lint buildup, damage, or debris somewhere along the dryer vent may be causing problems.
When a dryer that normally dries clothes in one cycle suddenly begins taking longer, it may be struggling to move heat and moisture through the vent because of hidden buildup, damage, or debris.
Extra heat around the dryer can be a sign that warm air and humidity are not leaving through the dryer vent as freely as they should. When heat and humidity become trapped by a blocked dryer vent, the dryer or laundry room can begin to feel hotter than normal.
Weak airflow or no noticeable airflow at the outside dryer vent can point to lint buildup, damage, or debris restricting the vent somewhere between the dryer and the outside exhaust.
The lint screen catches a lot of lint, but some can collect farther inside the dryer vent where it is harder to see or reach. Over time, that hidden lint buildup can restrict the vent and decrease airflow.
When something is blocking the dryer vent exhaust, the dryer has to work harder to move heat and moisture outside, causing premature wear. Cleaning removes the buildup that may be causing extra drying cycles, excess heat, weak airflow, and strain on your dryer.
When air is flowing freely through the dryer vent, your dryer is able to move the heat and humidity created during each drying cycle outside where it belongs. This can help reduce the need for repeat drying cycles.
Removing a restriction in your dryer vent can reduce the heat and humidity that builds up in the laundry room. With the air flowing freely, your dryer is able to move that heat and humidity outside and function as it normally should.
Cleaning the dryer vent removes lint buildup or debris that may be slowing airflow between the dryer and the outside exhaust. Proper airflow can help reduce extra strain and premature wear on your dryer.
