When lint bypasses your dryer’s lint filter and builds up in your dryer venting system, it causes your dryer to run longer, work harder and possibly overheat and catch on fire. DrySafer Dryer Vent Alarm is a one-of-a-kind device that detects insufficient air flow inside the dryer exhaust ducts, caused by this excessive lint build-up. Designed by an expert in the appliance repair industry, this unique, simple device easily fits onto the back of your dryer and monitors your dryer performance. If the air flow drops to an unsafe level , our device will send out a warning signal alerting you to a potential problem in your dryer venting system.
Blockages can also occur when squirrels, chipmunks and birds make nests in your venting system.
“Clothes dryers are associated with approximately 15,600 fires annually, resulting in 20 deaths and 370 injuries.”

Today, many newer homes tend to have dryers located away from an outside wall: in bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and hall closets. This results in longer dryer venting conduit hidden in walls and ceilings. This design increases the risk of lint accumulations inside areas that are inaccessible. The dryer has to work harder to force the air up the wall, across the ceiling to the outside exhaust hood. With DrySafer, lint accumulations are detected before a potential disaster can occur. Detection protection starts today.
