Lint, Vents and Fire Safety
Clothes that are still damp after a normal cycle, longer-than-usual drying times, or little exhaust air coming out of the outside vent while the dryer runs can all point to a blocked lint screen or exhaust duct.

Under the model residential code approach, a 4-inch dryer exhaust duct is limited to 35 feet of equivalent length, minus 2.5 feet for each 45-degree bend and 5 feet for each 90-degree bend, unless the dryer manufacturer's installation instructions set a different maximum.

What Rome Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Rome come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Georgia has no appliance repair license; the Secretary of State's construction-related licensing boards cover conditioned air, electrical, plumbing, low voltage, utility and residential/general contractors, with no separate appliance category.

In Georgia, you can check a license with the Georgia Secretary of State Licensing Division License Lookup or report a problem to the Georgia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.
