Brampton safety notes
Do not normalize slow drying
Longer cycles can increase energy use and may indicate restricted airflow, but appliance issues can cause similar symptoms. A qualified assessment should consider the dryer, transition connector and exhaust route.
Clean the lint screen every load
Toronto Fire Services and federal safety guidance emphasize regular lint-screen cleaning. That daily step does not replace inspection and maintenance of the duct and outside vent.
If you smell burning
Stop using the appliance. If there is smoke, fire or immediate danger, leave the area and call 911. A quote form is never the right channel for an emergency.
