This customer nearly had a dryer fire because of a bad cap install by her roofer. The damper flap was caved in and completely inoperable, blocking airflow out of the vent pipe and trapping the lint, heat, air, and moisture inside of the dryers.
For years, the customer assumed it must be a problem with her dryer. She tried running smaller loads, or running multiple cycles, and even switched to hanging some things to air dry because the dryer wasn't working.
But the truth is, for nearly half a decade, the vent was blocked because of a roofing error, and it had caused such a significant buildup of lint inside the machine that she could smell scorched lint every time she did laundry.
This is why I always recommend getting a Fire Prevention Checkup at least once a year. Unexpected things occur, vents get blocked, and you could be putting your family and property at risk without even knowing it.
