Could use any help or advise to fix the dryer. Thank you in advance!
I'm surprised that you didn't call the vent cleaning company back immediately when there was no air flow. It could be that he pushed the dryer back too far against the wall. You may want to pull the dryer out a few inches and see if that solves the problem. You can also use a mirror and a flashlight to see if the vent pipe is connected to the back of the dryer and not crushed against the wall. But, the vent guy should have checked the air flow before leaving your house. It is not safe to operate a dryer with no air flow because it can overheat.
