# Dryer repair in Wilmette.

Wilmette requires a building permit for new interior outlets, electrical panel changes and work on fuel piping.

## What Wilmette does to a dryer.

Work begun in Wilmette without a permit is stopped until one is issued, and a surcharge is added to the permit.

The village issued a permit for its first apartment building, the Linden Crest Apartments, in 1924, and very few more were built for the next four decades.

The Indian Hill Estates subdivision, begun in 1926, set its homes on long winding roads and well-kept lots with deep setbacks.

### 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.

### 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.
