House fires are a lot more common than you think, and dryer fires make up a huge amount of house fire causes every year. Here at Alpha Appliance Services Inc., we want you and your loved ones to be safe. That is why we have come up with a list of things to do in order to prevent a dryer fire from occurring. Some of them can be done on your own, while others may have to be done with a dryer repair service- they include:
- Have a dryer both installed and serviced by a professional, such as the ones here at Alpha Appliance.
- Make sure to use a lint filter.
- Use flexible metal venting to make sure there is proper air flow.
- The air exhaust vent pipe cannot be restricted to a small area or blocked in any way. If you notice that your clothes are not drying like they once were, make sure to clean out your vent pipe.
- Ensure your dryer is being maintained properly and that it is in good condition before using it.
- Be certain that you are using the proper plugs/outlets and that they are fully connected.
- Always follow the operating instructions that come with your dryer.
- Do not overload your dryer, as this can cause the dryer to break/start a potential fire hazard.
- If you are leaving the house or going to bed, turn your dryer off to ensure nothing bad goes unnoticed.
