All of Chicago

On a lake

Lake houses with walkout lower levels often keep the laundry downstairs, where the vent exits close to the ground and can be blocked by drifting snow, leaves or nesting animals. A hood checked each season avoids most of those surprises.

Older housing stock

Protected exteriors and historic district rules can limit where a new dryer vent may exit, which is one reason ventless dryers turn up in older buildings. Where the old vent has to stay, it is cleaned and checked more often, not less.

Mixed housing

On a street where houses were built decades apart, the dryers range from simple mechanical-timer models to sensor-driven and heat-pump units, and the repair approach changes with each. Older dryers often stay worth fixing because their parts are straightforward and still available.
