Possible Causes

Partially clogged exhaust duct, Lint buildup in blower housing, Long duct run with many bends, Clogged lint filter screen with fabric softener residue

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing panels.

Steps:

  • Clean lint filter: Wash with warm, soapy water to remove film; dry completely.
  • Inspect vent hose: Shorten and straighten the exhaust hose; replace it with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct if flexible foil is used.
  • Clean house duct: Use a vent brush kit to clean the duct leading to the outside.
  • Clean internal ducts: Remove the rear panel and vacuum lint from the blower housing and internal ducts.
