- Clothes take too much time to dry or requires more than one cycle to dry.
- When you clean out the lint trap there is no lint in it. (After every load there should be some lint.)
- The dryer overheat sensor comes on. (Some of the newer models of dryers have a sensor to let you know if you need to check the dryer vent for blockage.)
- Clothes are very hot after the dryer cycle ends, which is a warning that the dryer is working extra hard, and may not be venting air properly.
- The top of the dryer is hotter than normal when in use. (Most dryers should be warm or cool to the touch.)
