PSA-Remember to Check Your Dryer Vent

Don't be like me having to walk through 2 ft of snow in my pajamas at midnight to clear out the outside vent which was a mix of ice and lint.  Dryers have temperature sensors to limit the chances of fires but you do not really want to test if it is working.

    1. I have taken apart the dryer vent system more than once in the past. I think what happened this time is there was a little build up in the filter area of the dryer that would pull off some of the lint from the filter when I would take it out. It would then get pushed into the exhaust when I put the filter back in. So I also took the back off the dryer and removed the filter assembly to clean it out also.
