Step 5 · Restore Dryer Power and Test

Once the vent is fully reconnected and secured, carefully push the dryer back into its original position. Plug the dryer back into the electrical outlet. Turn on the dryer and set it to a short air-only or low-heat cycle. Listen for the sound of air escaping from the exterior vent. You can also feel for airflow at the exterior vent hood. If the airflow is strong and consistent, the cleaning was successful. If airflow is weak, re-check connections and ensure the vent is not obstructed.
