One important rule of thumb to follow when operating a dryer, is to be sure to clear the lint receptacle on a regular basis. When lint builds up, the dryer will not dry effectively, and the lint can even catch fire. Also be sure to check any exhaust pipes for any obstructions. Another overlooked area, is the outdoor vent.
