# Dryer repair in Palo Alto.

Mid-century houses tend to keep the laundry in the garage or a utility room, while rebuilt houses often move it upstairs beside the bedrooms. That upstairs dryer usually has the longer vent, and a heat-pump model is a common choice in a household that has given up gas.

## What Palo Alto does to a dryer.

Architect and developer Joseph Eichler built almost 3,000 homes in Palo Alto.

A rural section of the city in the hills west of Interstate 280, past the Country Club, does not receive gas from the city utility.

The city itself operates both the gas meters and the gas distribution pipelines inside its limits.

NOAA's Palo Alto station averages 15.12 inches of precipitation and about 14 nights at or below freezing a year.

### Designed laundry rooms

A designed laundry room often places the dryer where it looks best rather than where the vent is shortest, and a run that crosses a ceiling or turns several times is a common reason a new, high-end dryer takes too long.

### Newer developments

Houses built to a plan often put the dryer in the same spot on every lot, and the vent path repeats too, frequently long and routed through the attic to the roof. When one dryer on a street starts overheating, the neighbors' vents are probably due as well.

### Family houses

Family houses run the dryer almost daily, with school clothes, sports gear and bedding, so belts, rollers and heating parts wear faster than the machine's age would suggest. A squeal or thump that creeps in gradually is usually one of those parts.
