Hotel laundry runs near-continuously, and its two failure modes are expensive in different ways. Lint accumulation in dryer ducts and cabinets is a genuine fire load in a room full of heat. Drum bearing wear is the slow one: it starts as noise, becomes vibration, and ends as a seal failure that puts water into the bearing housing and turns a service into a machine replacement.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

Dry times lengthen, which is read as a busy laundry rather than a restricted duct, so throughput drops and energy cost rises while the fire load builds. On the mechanical side the bearing noise becomes normal background until the drum fails — typically at full occupancy, when linen turnaround is exactly what the property cannot lose.
Quarterly service with the run-hour leg leading in a busy property. Lint clearing is far more frequent — daily at the trap, and scheduled for ducts and cabinet interiors, which is where the accumulation nobody sees actually sits.
