Dryer Repair in Toronto — Shuts off mid-cycle

In Toronto the mid-cycle cutout skews to the long, hidden vent run. Detached and semi houses across the old city — Leaside, the Beaches, the Annex, Bloor West — almost always put the dryer in a basement laundry, so the duct climbs and dog-legs a long way out to a side or rear wall, and it's that buried length that fills with lint and chokes the heat until the safety opens partway through. In the downtown and waterfront condo towers the failure mode flips: stacked and ventless heat-pump units share or self-contain their exhaust, so a unit that quits mid-cycle is more often a packed internal lint trap or a building riser backing up than a thermostat. Either way we read airflow at the real exit and walk the full run before condemning a thermostat or motor — and in winter we check the exterior hood hasn't frosted shut, which tips a marginal run into a cutout.
