Has anyone ever used a leaf blower to clean a dryer vent?

Question

Our dryer keeps blowing the thermal fuse and I think its because the venting is clogged with lint. There are a few bends in there so a regular brush won't do the trick. Has anyone ever heard of using a leaf blower to clean it out?

Answer 1

i wouldnt if i wer u cuz blowers suck in air and i treied it once and just kept sucking in the vent junk and spitting it back

Answer 2

No, but that's using your brain. Do you happen to be from Nebraska?

Answer 3

i have and it worked well.. not sucking in but blowing out with the leaf blower...
