Clothes Dryer Boost Exhaust Fan

If you are here, then I know you have a problem with your clothes dryer. More precisely, with the hot air your dryer makes in your basement, your bathroom or any other room where you stationed him.

Clothes dryer boost exhaust fan is a necessity because you will never get a perfect installation with short duct length. That is a reality most of us has to face and find a solution for it. We may have a good contractor in our address book, but sometimes it's just impossible to get a good position for you clothes dryer and the duct that goes along.

In perfect conditions we wouldn't need a boost exhaust fan, but when the exhaust duct is too long, we need to change something. That's why we tend to locate them against any outside wall. Then the hot air is vented outside without disturbing the work of our dryer and without making any additional problems. But more often then not we need a clothes dryer boost exhaust fan to make the system function normally.

You probably know that many clothes dryers can't operate if there isn't any good duct work provided. If the exhaust is not favorable, then you have higher energy usage, longer drying time, wear and tear on the machine itself and all that costs money. That's why you need a solution. And one of them is certainly clothes dryer boost exhaust fan.

If you want a dryer without venting, then LG washer and dryer is your best bet. We all know its tough to handle your clothes if you live in an apartment, but LG has a great solution with their washer and dryer combo because it doesn't need to be vented.

One of choices you have when buying LG washer and dryer is LG WM3431. The best thing he offers for apartment dwellers is that they can use this machine as long as they at least have access to a kitchen sink and a standard electrical outlet. It is easy to find a Y-connector at a hardware store with a snap-on dishwasher connector. Then all it needs to be done is to hook up LG washer and dryer to the faucet with just a snap every time it is being used.

Another great addition to this LG washer and dryer is a possibility to purchase casters for so that you can wheel the clothes dryer around your apartment rather than drag it across the floor on its feet. If you already have a dryer on wheels, get a rubber mat to roll it onto if you live in an building with lousy flooring.


When it comes to washing, LG washer and dryer offers multiple cycles to choose from using the main dial: Cotton/Towels, Normal, Sanitary,Press, Delicate, Speed Wash, Wool/Silk and Hand Wash. Besides those, you also have many other options like Soak, Extra Wash, Spin Only, Extra Rinse and so on.

With this LG washer and dryer you can choose the level of soil from light to heavy and the wash/rinse temperature from cold to hot. Of course, this clothes dryer allows you to choose from several spin speeds. Your washing will take from 35 minutes to over two hours, depending on how many extras and on cycle you use.

We will just say that this machine will get stains out without beating up your clothes. Reason: there's no agitator. Use Delicate cycle with satin sheets for example, and they will turn out perfect.

You can set LG dryer and washer to wash and dry in a complete cycle, wash only, or dry only. The clothes dryer can either be set by timer or sensor. This is a ventless clothes dryer and works by condensing the moisture in the drum and then flushing it down the drain, so there is no steam and ventilation needed. For this to happen, you need to have the cold water on during the dry cycle.

Drying will take some time, so you better be prepared right now. A typical load takes about 2 hours using the Normal setting on the sensor and a small load will need about an hour and a half. This will be strange to some people, but they will get used to it quickly.

Clothes Dryer Problems

Here we are going to talk about clothes dryer problems, what causes them and what types of further complications we can have if we disregard any issue with our dryer and venting system. Some of the conditions we face can't be changed and are given to us, but there are many of those that can be turned into our advantage so we can solve any obstacle. Remember, installing a clothes dryer boost exhaust fan is always easiest way to do it.

First, the clothes dryer problems we can't change:

1. Apartment buildings with centrally located laundry room
2. Apartment complexes with individual ducts for every clothes dryer
3. Laundry rooms that are located in the center of the house
4. Basements that don't allow easy, direct venting

These are the issues we can't deal with, or to be more precise, it's much harder to change them then to change other conditions. Now, the conditions that also make problems to our clothes dryers but can be easily changed are:

1. We have a lint in our duct that's clogging the exhaust system
2. The fan we have has blades clogged with lint
3. The motor overloads because it can't handle the heated air
4. Our air blower can't handle the long duct

All these clothes dryers problems will create more complications if you choose not to act. Your laundry room will receive more moist, the duct will become clogged and destroy the motor in your clothes dryer and the wood will soak up the moist and rot. These can happen to everyone unless he acts when there is need. And this is where clothes dryer boost exhaust fan comes in.
