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

LOL, I was gonna say the same thing. It happened to us. The clothes were taking for ever to dry. So I went out side to look at the vent and it was cloged with lint. We made the mistake of putting vent cover on with slits in it. So I sniped them out and works wonderful.
