    Try these simple checks first — if the problem persists, we're here to help.

    Clean your lint trap after every single load — this is your first line of defense
    Check your exterior vent flap periodically to ensure it opens and closes freely
    Never use flexible foil or plastic dryer vent hose — use rigid or semi-rigid metal
    Don't overload your dryer — it restricts airflow and increases lint buildup
    Schedule professional vent cleaning annually, or sooner if drying times increase
