Yes! Dryer fires could be a result of any of the following:

  • **Dirty lint filters. **Lint collects in the dryer cavity, which is close to the heating elements. Uncleaned lint filters are a fire risk since lint is highly flammable and may ignite due to the heat.
  • **Improper usage. **Manufacturer’s instructions often come with appliances. Dryer usage outside the recommended guidelines, such as overstuffing and placing items that shouldn’t be put in it, is a potential fire hazard.
  • **Machinery failure. **Damaged components and faulty wiring may start a fire. Upon notice, these and other electrical or mechanical issues must be repaired or replaced, if necessary.
