Based on observations, interviews and review of the manufacturers recommendations for the facility's clothes dryers, the facility failed to ensure an excessive build up of lint was removed from inside and behind 4 of 4 clothes dryers. The findings included: An observation on 8/11/2017 at approximately 9:00 AM of the facility laundry room revealed 4 of 4 clothes dryers with an excessive build up of lint inside the clothes dryers, on the sides of the lint baskets, the upper sides of the dryers and on the wiring system. Further observation on 8/11/2017 at approximately 9:00 AM revealed a build up of lint behind the clothes dryers on the belts and ducts and on the back panels of the dryers. An interview on 8/11/2017 at approximately 9:15 AM with the Laundry Worker and the Maintenance Director confirmed the findings. Review on 8/11/2017 at approximately 9:40 AM of the Manufacturers Recommendations for the clothes dryers states under, Daily, Keep tumbler area clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Number 2, reads, Remove all accumulated lint in the lint compartment area. Lightly brush any lint that may be left on the lint screen. Lint left in the lint compartment is drawn back onto the lint screen and will restrict proper air circulation. Number 5 states, Wipe any accumulated lint off of the thermostat sensing probe, cabinet hi-limit thermostat or thermistor. Failure to do so will allow a a buildup of lint in this area to act as an insulator, causing the tumbler to overheat. |
