Lint
If it’s taking longer than usual for your clothes to dry or the clothes are super hot after a dry cycle, you could have a build-up of lint, even if it’s not visible in the lint screen.
“Lint is an extremely flammable material,” says Jason Kapica, president of Dryer Vent Wizard. “Oxygen moves through a dryer and its vent when the machine is running. There is a heating element inside the dryer providing a potential ignition source.”
Reduce the risk by removing the lint from the lint screen after each load and clean the dryer vent line every year. Also, make sure to never put any of these 14 items in your dryer.
