Clean the lint filter screen thoroughly before or after every load.
Disconnect the dryer from the wall and unplug it.
Detach the vent hose from the back of the dryer and from the wall exhaust port.
Use a vent cleaning brush or a vacuum to remove all lint buildup from the entire length of the hose and the wall duct.
Go outside and ensure the exterior vent flap can open and close freely and is not blocked by debris.
