What Near North Side does
to a dryer.

The Cabrini-Green Homes once housed 15,000 subsidized tenants here; its rowhouses opened in 1942 and its apartment buildings in 1958 and 1962.

River North takes its name from developer Albert Friedman, who began buying, restoring and building property in its southeast sector in 1974.

Peoples Gas, Chicago's gas utility, serves the towers and older buildings of the Near North Side.

Tower living

Building management usually decides when a dryer vent can be opened, cleaned or rerouted, and some buildings clean shared exhaust ducts on their own schedule. Knowing which part of the path belongs to the apartment and which to the building is where a high-rise dryer repair begins.

Small homes

In a cramped laundry closet the duct behind the dryer is often crushed when the machine is pushed back, and a flattened duct can stretch drying times badly without any part failing. Rigid or semi-rigid duct with a slim periscope connection solves it in most spaces.

Designed laundry rooms

The dryers in these homes may be compact European models, heat-pump units or matched pairs with steam and sensor features, and repairing them calls for parts and diagnostics specific to each brand rather than generic ones.
