What Manhattan does
to a dryer.

Where dryers sit in Manhattan: tower living, older housing stock, small homes.

All of New York Metro

Tower living

A dryer in a tower rarely vents straight outside. The exhaust may travel a long horizontal duct to an exterior wall or join a shared riser, and every foot of that run adds resistance that shows up as longer cycles and a hotter cabinet.

Older housing stock

Houses built before home dryers were common got one wherever a circuit or gas line could be run, and the wiring may be older than the machine. A dryer that trips its breaker or runs without heat is sometimes reporting on the house's circuit rather than on itself.

Small homes

Compact and stacked dryers are harder to service in place, and reaching the back panel may mean easing the machine partway out of a closet that was built around it. A careful visit protects the floor, the door frame and whatever sits beneath the dryer.
