Dryer maintenance is very simple:
- Make sure you clean the lint filter before (or after) every use.
- Check the exhaust on the outside of your house every spring. This is the most common spot where lint accumulates.
- If your dryer is installed inside a closet, mostly in apartment buildings, then there should be an additional lint screen on the ceiling. This one should be cleaned once a month or once every 6 months - depends how much you use the dryer.
