Lint, Vents and Dryer Fires
Never run a dryer without its lint filter, and clean the filter before or after every load; also clear lint that collects behind the dryer. Source: U.S. Fire Administration (FEMA) - Clothes Dryer Fire Safety

Dryer Notes for Lexington, SC
Most dryer calls in Lexington come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
