Where do we provide services?
Common Dryer Booster Fan Issues We Repair
- Booster fan not turning on
- Booster fan runs continuously or not at all
- Low or no airflow through duct
- Lint buildup in booster or duct
- Blocked vent exhaust or jammed exhaust flap
- Unusual or loud noises from booster fan
- Vibration or rattling noises during operation
- Electrical or wiring problems
- Capacitor failure (fan hums but doesn’t spin)
- Frequent overheating or shutdown
- Dryer taking too long to dry clothes (due to airflow restriction)

Note: Booster fan problems often lead to dryer issues such as longer drying times, wrinkled clothes, or overheating. We inspect and address both the booster fan and the dryer airflow system to restore safety and efficiency.
Most Common Dryer Booster Parts That Require Replacement
- Capacitors – store and release electrical energy to start and run the fan motor
- Fan motors – power the impeller to move air through the duct system
- Impellers (fan blades) – push air through the vent; can wear, loosen, or get damaged
- Pressure switches / airflow sensors – detect airflow from the dryer to activate the booster
- Current switches – sense electrical current from the dryer to trigger the booster fan
- Lint traps / lint filters – capture lint before it reaches the booster fan to prevent clogging and overheating
- Relay or control boards – manage power and switching for the fan motor
- Thermal protection devices – prevent overheating by shutting off the fan
- Mounting brackets and vibration isolators – keep the booster stable and quiet during operation
- Duct connectors and collars – seal the booster to the vent system to prevent leaks
- Exterior exhaust flaps / vent hoods – prevent backdrafts and allow proper airflow
- Seals and gaskets – maintain airtight connections within the booster assembly
If you notice any of these issues, contact us before airflow restrictions or fire hazards become a concern. No matter the age, setup, or brand of your dryer booster fan — we can repair it and restore safe, efficient operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a dryer booster fan do?
It increases airflow through long or complex dryer vent runs, improving drying speed and reducing the risk of lint buildup and fire hazards.
How do I know if my booster fan needs repair?
Look for longer drying times, reduced airflow, unusual noises, vibrations, or the fan not turning on.
Can I use my dryer if the booster isn’t working?
Not recommended. Running your dryer without a functioning booster fan can cause the dryer’s heater, thermostat, or even control board to wear out prematurely. Poor venting also leads to overheating, lint buildup, and increased fire hazards.
How often should booster fans and vents be cleaned?
At least once a year—or more often if you do frequent laundry or have a long vent run.
Do you install new booster fans?
Yes. We handle both repairs and new installations, including proper setup and airflow testing.
What brands do you service?
All major brands, including Fantech, Tjernlund, Suncourt, Dundas Jafine, Broan, and more.
