# Samsung dryer vent cleaning

### Not inside the appliance, which is why it survives service calls

The duct is part of the dryer in every way that matters and in no way that a technician looking at the machine will notice. It gets cleared along its whole run rather than at the first accessible three feet, the outside flap is checked while the machine is running, and airflow is measured before and after so there is a number rather than an impression.

What this involves

The whole duct run, not just the first three feet

The outside flap checked while the dryer is running

Airflow measured before and after

Clear the whole run

From the machine to the outside flap. A duct that is clear at both ends and packed in the middle is common and invisible.

Check the flap actually opens

A vent hood painted shut, or blocked by a bird's nest, undoes everything else.

Measure the airflow, before and after

So there is a number rather than an impression, and so next year has something to compare with.

Look at how the duct is run

Foil concertina crushed behind the machine, a run with more bends than it needs, or a section that has come apart inside a wall — those are worth telling you about even when they are not today's job.

### How do I know if mine needs it?

If a load takes longer than it used to, if the top of the dryer is hot to touch, or if the outside flap does not open fully when it runs. Any one of those is enough.

### Will you tell me the price before you start?

Yes, in writing, after the diagnostic and before anything is opened. Every figure on this site is a starting point; the number you agree to is the one you pay.
