Never saw a ducting system that goes up through the roof, all ours go out the side of the home. Good video! Most people never check the vent!

Twice a year use your cordless leaf blower and from the inside of the house behind the dryer stick it in the vent line and blow out the lint! Works great and you'll see dry times decrease. Cheers!!

Quick and kinda simple. It's definitely a start thanks.

Thanks, Jeff! Great stuff. You make the world more understandable!

Up in these parts Jeff there are really only 3 reasons why my drier doesnt work so good. In order the three reasons are called December, January, and February. By the time March rolls in, there are warmer days returning lol! Happy Christmas Eve Day Eve! -Bob...

Very informative video... thank you!!!

I’m in the Chicago area, I have never seen a dryer vent out on the roof. Must be code in our area. My folks lived in Charlotte, NC and they had a dryer that vented out through a soffit, roof would have been closer, it worked ok. Comments?

[federicoorta]

Ty boss I really never pay attention to ppl but ur video really did make me change my mind I really did do it and it worked out for me 😊ur not like other people u just get to the point

Another thing that can stump people is after many years and hours of service, the thermostats (mainly the high limit thermostat) can get weak with age which will cause the heating element to cycle off sooner than it should which misleads people into thinking the heating element is on it’s way out or the main cycling thermostat is not working like it should.

So here this morning Jeff, the reasons why my drier is on hiatus is because the visibility is about a city block due to heavy snow and blowing snow as a Blizzard has hit running the winds up over 35 mph dropping the 18 degree air temperature to a minus 2 degree feels like temperature! -Bob...

If you dry your cloths and they are to wet you’ll most likely blow a fuse which is the one that blows hot air.

Had mine stop heating about 5 years ago I changed the heating element and it worked, well it stopped again about 1 month ago, I figured same issue so I bought another heating element and it was fine that month but it's back to not heating. I ordered a new heating element since i assumed i got a faulty one and again swapped heating element and threw in a new thermal fuse, made sure the duct and lint traps are clear still no heat, any idea what it can be? I've got an old Whirlpool Elite He4

Dryers vented to the roof will cause lint to backup due to gravity and a dumbaxx design - because in kindergarten we all learned about gravity

[UncoordinatedPixie]

Roof vents should be illegal. I’d never buy a house unless the dryer was directly vented on an outside wall.

[ProfessorDeeee]

None of these. Still not hearing. Huh😮

Have a samsung dryer, have no heat plus works by closing door . Controls light up etc, but have no function. So to operate close door, to stop open door . Still use it, take about 2 to 3 hours to dry clothes .

[chapulineroenohio]

Mine had a plastic looking blown fuse, in the back of the dryer.🤷🏻‍♂️

[goldgait]

damn dude if you got further away from that view of the different thermostats we wouldn't be able to see him at all and you wouldn't have to make this video

These kenmore gas dryers, turn on, and off, don't state the fame,
