Venting and airflow

Symptom: A dryer that needs multiple cycles to dry, runs unusually hot, or repeatedly trips its heat-limit switch.

Check: Clear the lint screen and the full vent run to the outside wall -- a restricted vent is the single most common cause of long dry times and repeat thermal-fuse failures.
