Clear out the lint trap to help clothes dry faster

As lint accumulates on the trap during each dryer cycle, the build-up hinders air flow and forces the dryer to work harder to dry your laundry. Before examining other dryer repair parts, remove the trap and peel off the accumulated lint to see that resolves the problem. For best performance, clean the lint trap before every cycle.

Clean the exhaust vent duct to improve dryer air flow

An important step in dryer troubleshooting is cleaning the exhaust vent duct, which slowly accumulates excess lint over time and prevents the exhaust air from escaping from the dryer. Unhook the exhaust vent duct and use a vacuum cleaner to remove lint build-up. Clear out your dryer's vent tube at least once a year to avoid a potential fire hazard.
