Why Dryers Break Down
What a Dryer Repair Technician Checks
Check the Vent Before You Call

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
