Throughout the service life of the machine, the lint screen has been cleaned after every load. If anything, that might work against you because the fine lint particles, the sort which had accumulated in our machine, would blow through the screen.

The reason lint was accumulating inside the dryer was the ill-fitting pipe the manufacturer had used to connect to the vent line outside the dryer which allowed blowback into the case of the machine.

Thanks, I checked, everything seems secure.

True, that’s another reason. If the dryer hose is not straight or develops a kink in it lint will back up. Also people don’t understand that you can’t load up a dryer with too much at one time. Drying times, dryer settings are another thing to factor in.
