No Lint on the Lint Screen
Why Is My Dryer Not Collecting Lint?
If your dryer isn’t collecting lint on the screen, it could signal a serious problem.
When lint isn’t visible after a cycle, it may be backing up inside the dryer or clogging the vent line—both of which can lead to overheating and increase fire risk. Always clean and check the lint trap after each load, and if you notice missing lint, contact Dryer Vent Ninjas for a full system inspection.
How to Fix Dryer Not Catching Lint
Make sure your lint trap fits securely and is free from buildup or residue.
If you're still not seeing lint collect on the screen after a cycle, it could indicate a blockage. Schedule a professional inspection with Dryer Vent Ninjas right away to keep your system safe and efficient.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
If you’re not seeing lint on the lint screen, it’s a sign your vent system may be clogged.
When lint bypasses the trap, it builds up in the vent line—restricting airflow, reducing efficiency, and increasing fire risk. A professional dryer vent cleaning from Dryer Vent Ninjas clears out this buildup, restores proper airflow, and helps keep your home safe.
Dryer Vent System Inspection
A dryer vent system inspection is key to maintaining proper performance and safe operation.
Routine inspections help ensure lint is being collected as it should, while also identifying any leaks, blockages, or damage before they turn into bigger problems—protecting both your dryer and your home.
Dryer Delinting
Dryer delinting removes built-up lint that gets past the lint trap—one of the leading causes of dryer fires.
Using specialized tools, Dryer Vent Ninjas clears out hidden debris to reduce fire hazards, restore airflow, and boost your dryer’s overall performan
Dryer Vent Debris and Clog Removal
If your lint screen isn’t collecting lint, that buildup is likely accumulating in your dryer vent system instead.
This can lead to restricted airflow, longer drying times, and damp laundry. The team at Dryer Vent Ninjas will remove clogs and debris to restore proper airflow—getting your dryer back to peak performance.
Booster Fan Cleaning
If your dryer struggles to push lint through the vent system, a booster fan can help improve airflow.
Regularly cleaning the booster fan ensures it works efficiently—helping expel lint that bypasses the trap and reducing buildup that could lead to clogs or fire risks.

Explore our most frequently asked questions below to learn more about Dryer Vent Ninjas. If you need additional info or want to speak with a local expert, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help with safe, efficient dryer vent solutions near you.
Is my dryer a potential fire hazard?
Unfortunately, dryers are a common cause of home fires. According to the National Fire Protection Association, on average, a dryer related fire occurs every 37 minutes in the U.S. Many of these could have been avoided by regular maintenance and cleaning of the vent line.
Does a clogged dryer vent impact the air quality in my home?
Yes, it can.
When dryer vents become clogged with lint, dust, and debris, they trap hot, humid air inside the system instead of venting it outside. This buildup can lead to mold and mildew growth—potentially affecting indoor air quality and causing respiratory issues, especially for those with asthma or allergies. In gas dryers, blockages may also result in dangerous carbon monoxide buildup, posing a serious safety hazard.
Can cleaning your dryer vent help reduce energy usage?
Your clothes dryer is one of the highest energy-consuming appliances in your home—accounting for around 6% of total electricity use.
When vents are clogged, airflow is restricted, forcing the dryer to work harder and use more energy per load. Clearing out that lint not only boosts efficiency but also helps extend the life of your dryer by reducing strain. In fact, improved performance from a clean vent can save you up to $300 a year on energy costs..
Why is vent cleaning essential for gas dryers?
Gas dryers produce carbon monoxide as part of the combustion process.
If the vent becomes clogged, this dangerous gas can back up into your home instead of being safely exhausted outside. Regular dryer vent cleaning is essential to maintain proper airflow, ensure safe operation, and help prevent carbon monoxide exposure.
Why is dryer vent maintenance important for controlling home humidity?
During a typical drying cycle, your dryer removes up to a gallon of moisture from your laundry.
That moisture, along with warm air and lint, travels through the vent system to be released outside. When the vent is clogged, it traps heat and humidity indoors—raising your home’s moisture levels. Regular dryer vent cleaning not only reduces fire risk, but also helps keep indoor humidity in check, creating a more comfortable environment for your family.
Does cleaning your dryer vent reduce environmental impact?
Regular dryer vent cleaning offers key benefits like improved energy efficiency, fewer unexpected (and expensive) breakdowns, and reduced release of lint and debris into your home and the environment.
