# GE dryer vent cleaning

What this involves

The duct, end to end, not the lint trap

Restricted venting is the recognized fire risk

Usually restores drying in one cycle

Measure the airflow at the outlet

Before, so the improvement is a number. A vent hood that barely moves a hand is the finding.

Clear the full run and the hood

Including the elbow behind the machine, which is where crushing and packing happen.

Check the flap and the termination

A hood flap held open by lint lets humid outside air back in, which is a Florida-specific problem.

Measure again and check the transition

Foil transition hoses are the commonest failure point and the cheapest thing to replace while we are there.

Airflow, as a number

Measured at the outside hood before and after. That turns this from a service you are asked to trust into one you can check.
