What Point Loma does
to a dryer.

In La Playa, on the bay side, some waterfront homes have private piers for small boats.

Fog and cloud in the marine layer hid the beam of the Old Point Loma Lighthouse so often that a new light was built nearer sea level and the old one went dark in 1891.

NOAA's SeaWorld station on Mission Bay, just north of the peninsula, averages 10.44 inches of precipitation a year and fewer than one day a year at 90 degrees F.

On the water

Salt air works on exterior vent hoods, dampers and the screws that hold them, and a flap that corrodes open lets humid air, insects and rodents into the duct. A hood built for coastal exposure, checked each season, keeps the run closed while the dryer is off.

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.

Mixed housing

A new dryer installed in an old laundry space inherits the old wiring, gas line and vent, and trouble that seems to come from the machine often starts in those connections. Checking supply and exhaust is part of every repair in these houses.
