Appliance tip of the week...
This dryer is especially susceptible to a partially closed vent. Pictured is the dryer before we cleaned it and the danger involved in using the white vinyl venting. I say it again. If you have the white vinyl venting on your dryer, redo the vent with good pipe and save your self lots of dollars in power savings and maybe even save your life from a burnt house. There are many aluminum semi-rigid, flexible, rigid products that does a good job in venting. Use the white vinyl stuff if you insist, but don't be surprised when problems occur, and don't be surprised if you burn your home down. Picture of the dryer (http://www.applianceaid.com/images/ldrwp4r-burnt-lint.jpg). These folks were lucky!! They were right on the verge of a major fire. Reference model 110.66901690
