Dryer not working properly
I recently had the dryer vent cleaned. When the repair man was finished I did a load of laundry and put them in the dryer. The clothes would not dry at all. The dryer did work perfectly before the vent was cleaned. The heat is working on the dryer and all of the clothes are hot but it seems like there is NO air flow to dry the clothes. Could use any help or advise to fix the dryer. Thank you in advance!

Maybe vent flapper is stuck closed on the outside end.

It sounds like you have a blockage in the vent system. I would not use the dryer until you get it fixed. It could cause a fire.

I have experience with car dealerships, they get vehicle for nothing more than an oil change and return it to you with a starter problem. iow: spill fluid in starter.
Quite likely there are appliance maintenance scammers that cleaned the duct and damaged 'stuff' at the end of the duct, inside the dryer, as they 'cleaned' the duct. |

I agree. The guy who cleaned out the vent probably screwed up.

It's called restricted airflow. It's can't breathe. The dryer may be back against the wall. Some people put a brick behind them to keep from pushing the dryer against the wall. Under 30 days the guy should come back at NO charge!

Call the company that cleaned the dryer back. There is usually a flex hose between the dryer and wall outlet and they probably kinked it when they finished cleaning. If the hose is kinked there is no discharge for the air to go and your clothes will not dry.

Is your dryer in an outdoor attached shed on a manufactured house? The cold í ¾íµ¶ will affect the dryer’s performance.

just a suggestion if you use dryer sheets I was told put them in a Lingerie bag so they don’t block vent. Told to me by the gentleman who cleaned our vents.
