# Asko dryer lint and airflow service

### There is no code for lint inside a cabinet

The filter in the door catches the visible material and plenty gets past it. That fine lint travels with the air, collects around the fan and against the heat exchanger, and stays there — where no owner check reaches, where nothing reports it, and where it lengthens every cycle and raises the running temperature inside the machine. On any dryer of any make that is the mechanism behind a dryer fire, which is why this sits with the safety work rather than with the housekeeping. The visit clears it and then measures the running temperature against what the platform should hold.

What this involves

No code, no light — the only symptom is a cycle that has quietly got longer

Lint inside the cabinet, not in the filter, is what matters here

Booked with the washer service, it is one visit for the whole laundry closet

Open the cabinet and clear it

Fan housing, ducting, heat exchanger and the base, cleared of what has accumulated past the filter over years rather than months.

Take temperatures once it is clear

Running temperature measured against what this platform is supposed to hold, so what changed is recorded as a figure and not as a feeling.

Set an interval that suits this closet

Based on how the machine is used and where it stands. A vented closet and an interior one are not the same machine, and a household of two is not a household of five.

### How do I know when it needs doing?

Time a standard load twice a year and write the number down. Drift in that figure is the only warning these machines give, and it means nothing unless somebody recorded the previous one.

### Can I open the cabinet myself?

We would rather you did not. The panels come off, there is mains wiring and either a heater or a sealed refrigeration circuit inside, and putting it back wrong is worse than leaving it. It is the cheapest visit on our list for exactly that reason.
