How would you rate your dryer’s performance?
Dryers that feel hot to the touch or take more than one cycle to dry a load
indicate a serious problem.
Poor dryer performance indicates dryer lint build-up, and since lint is
highly flammable, this build-up can increase your risk of fire.
Lint build-up can lead to fire as it causes a blockage in the dryer exhaust system, restricting airflow and causing the dryer to overheat. In addition to annual dryer vent cleaning and recognizing signs of poor dryer performance, your can install a dryer monitoring system to help reduce your risk.
LintAlert® is a dryer monitoring system that constantly monitors airflow and shows the exact pressure in the exhaust system. It allows you to save energy while ensuring that your dryer is operating safely.

How does LintAlert work?
Air
Pressure Sensor
LintAlert® accumulates information
through a highly discriminating digital pressure sensor. It detects small
changes in the water column inch (WCI) pressure by sampling minute amounts of
airflow, which the small volume of air is sampled. There is no impact to the
air pressure in the duct.
Onboard
Computer
Air pressure samples are
taken to be analyzed by a programmable integrated circuit. The onboard computer
evaluates data to show whether the dryer is on and how much the exhaust system
is performing.
LED
Indicators
The changes are show
through LED indicator lights. This is where the green indicators turns to
yellow, and then to red as pressure becomes a problem. Once you see two or
three green indicator lights, this means it’s a good time to clean the dryer
and ducts system to stay energy efficient and safe. If the vent system is NOT cleaned
at this point then the yellow and red indicator lights will illuminate. Once
the pressure becomes dangerous, all LED lights will flash and an audio alarm
will sound
We strongly recommend the use of the LintAlert monitoring system with annual dryer vent cleaning to reduce your risk of a dryer fire.
