The outside termination should have a backdraft damper and no screen (screens trap lint), and the flap must open when the dryer runs and be kept clear of snow. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting

Dryer Notes for Belmar, NJ
Most dryer calls in Belmar 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.
