Even if the lint trap is clean, when a dryer is more than a few years old, you need to clear the ENTIRE PATH between the lint trap and the outdoors (or wherever your dryer vents) To do that you actually have to take the back off the dryer and you will findthe "shoot" that is connected to the dryer vent hose. That "shoot has a cover on it held in place with screws... some you need to take the entire shoot out and clear all the debris. You will be surprized AT what gets past the lint trap. I found pretty close to $25 dollars in bills and change doing this one time. Your dyer will work much better after cleaning it out
