PSA: Stop yanking the dryer vent hose off before you check the lint trap housing
Had a call out to a place off Vine St in Toledo on Tuesday where the guy swore his dryer was dead, and he'd already pulled the vent hose off twice looking for a clog that wasn't there. Turned out a sock had slipped past the lint screen and wedged itself right in the housing opening, so the air couldn't get out and the thermal fuse popped. He spent $28 on a new hose he didn't need and I had a $3 fuse in my van the whole time. I see this about once a month now, folks jump straight to the hose because it's the easy thing to reach. How many of you check the housing before you mess with the vent run?

Man, that housing gap is where half my lint calls come from.
