Yes, I've seen reports of potential issues related to clothes dryers and code development changes. To give you a more helpful answer, I need some context. To understand the situation and what "clothes dryer headache" you're referring to, please provide me with more information, such as: What specific code development changes are you referring to? (e.g., new energy efficiency standards, changes to venting requirements, etc.) What "clothes dryer headache" are you talking about? (e.g., a past specific incident, general performance/cost complaints, venting issue, etc.) Where did you see/hear this? (e.g., a specific website, forum, news article, etc.) What are your main concerns?

For example, if you're concerned about stricter energy efficiency standards affecting dryer performance (like longer drying times), that's something I can address. If you're referring to changes in dryer vent requirements and potential fire hazards, that's another area.Once you provide more details, I can: Summarize the specific changes being discussed. Explain the potential impacts of those changes on consumers (you). Share reliable sources of information about the changes. Help you understand any steps you might need to take as a homeowner or renter. Point you to relevant building codes or regulations if you are concerned with compliance.In the meantime, here are a few general possibilities that might be relevant: Energy Efficiency Standards

New, stricter energy efficiency standards are often introduced, and these can sometimes lead to changes in appliance design that affect performance (e.g., longer drying times, less effective drying).

Venting Requirements

Changes to venting requirements can impact the installation and safety of dryers. Poorly vented dryers are a fire hazard.

New Technologies: New technologies like heat pump dryers are emerging, and these have different operating characteristics than traditional dryers. These can be expensive and require specific connections.Looking forward to helping you more when you provide the needed details! Flag for review
