Why is my dryer taking two cycles to dry clothes… even when the lint trap is clean?
We just helped a homeowner dealing with clothes still damp after drying and longer dry times. The issue wasn’t the dryer—it was a crushed dryer vent hose behind the machine. A tight 90° turn made the vent stick out too far, and every time the dryer was pushed back, it crushed the line, blocking nearly 50–60% of airflow.
That restriction traps heat and lint inside the system, which can cause overheating, poor performance, and even a fire hazard.
We corrected the transition, eliminated the restriction, and restored proper airflow so the dryer could run safely and efficiently again.
Common questions we hear:
• Why are my clothes still wet after drying?
• What causes a burning smell from my dryer?
• What are clogged dryer vent symptoms?
• Can a crushed dryer vent cause airflow problems?
If this sounds familiar, your dryer vent system may have a hidden restriction behind the machine.
