Our appliance repair technician got dispatched to a local Orleans home. The home owner called Doctor Appliance Repair because the dryer smelled like it was burning. Sure enough, when the technician arrived and opened up the unit, the home owner was right. The dryer had caught on fire! They purchased this dryer used, and it had never had any cleaning or regular maintenance and so lint built up, which led to a fire. From purchasing a used dryer, they almost had a serious fire in their home. Dryer maintenance and lint cleaning is very serious as it can lead to a devastating home fire. Our technicians advise to perform regular appliance maintenance at least 2x a year, every 6 month to avoid any issues.
