Dryer fires happen and they happen more often than we are lead to believe. At dryer vent cleaner in the lead up to Christmas we had 3 customers who had dryer fires inside their dryer all because there were issues with there dryer vent and how they were installed.
When your LG clothes dryer takes longer than normal to dry, there’s typically a reason causing this to happen.
When the control panel displays any bar illuminated on the Flow Sense warning icon or shows either of these error codes: d80, d90 or d95 – there’s a problem with poor airflow through the dryer vent, resulting in the dryer shutting down to avoid it overheating and quite possibly becoming a fire risk.
Your clothes dryer accounts for a huge 12% of the electrical power used in an average household, and that’s when the vent is not plugged! With a vent that’s plugged and you’re running the dryer 2 or 3 times you can easily see why you have a high hydro bill! If you are running your dryer on the sensor dry setting, where it decides when the clothes are dry, you probably don’t even know how long it takes to dry your clothes?
We see so many issues with badly installed dryer vents that it is unbelievable. The shoddy workmanship, lack of consideration for the safety of the family, not following code and failing to put proper roof vents are just some of the examples we see everyday. If these were cars we were looking at they would be recalled, how come no one seems to care about this is beyond us!
