So, I was washing clothes on Sunday and my dryer ran and blew air but did not get hot. After much cussing and the highly-scientific method of pounding on the dryer, I got enough heat to finish what I needed to get done. But that meant I needed to get somebody out to determine the problem and fix same.
Last night, the appliance repair guy was out. The problem was a massive lint buildup inside the unit, which he vacuumed out. That was $189; however it appears that the vent going outside (which is a good 30 to 40 foot run) is blocked as well.
So I used my Angi (formerly Angie's List) account to request a quote for dryer duct cleaning. Within 5 minutes of pushing submit, I got calls and/or emails from 4 vendors (great!). I picked one who will be out tomorrow - good - but that means I'll be writing another check for $135.
They say a boat is a hole in the water into which one throws money. A house is something similar.
PS - I found my appliance repair service via Angi for a previous problem and I called them back for this.
