Dryer vent length and limit switches
Main question - Can a temp limit switch get "tired"? It's a $10 part with a dime sized mechanism with a reset button on it. The drum has to come out to replace.
Temp high limit switch tripping unless vented into laundry/mud room (with door to garage open)
Gas dryer. Grossly over long and "bendy" exhaust system (six 90 degree bends). Dryer and venting system completely cleaned out five months ago after problem started. Did not fix.
Obvious answer is vent straightening. However, why did it work for two years with an under capacity exhaust? This makes me think the limit switch is tired.
