Ducting ceiling fan into dryer vent?

hi2u

I I'm a new home owner and re doing my bathroom. It has no ceiling fan and I need one to install the shower? My shower is located right next to a window(window is actually on shower), so that could r an alternative idea. I was wondering if I could install the ceiling fan and just duct it down into my dryer duct and install a t with one way flaps on each side.

Would this meet code? How important would it be to meet code? Do I even need the fan, I rarely used at houses I rented anyways

they all have to be vented separately, codes are set out for safety, I would follow them, and by not venting the bathroom you run the risk of mold buildup

No, No, No. Not going to meet any code on this planet.
Dryer needs it's own vent, to meet code it also should only have a metal flex line not the cheap plastic ones, soild metal pipe if it's behind a wall or through the attic.

And yes a bathroom vent is very important and also needs to be vented outside not just into the crawl space or attic.

Hmm... many, if not most codes don't require a fan unless there is no window.

You could use the same vent as dryer,but your clothes might smell funny.

as already said..needs to be vented by itself....no if ands or butts about it...

Im pretty sure that you can't vent a dryer and bathroom out the same vent.
