What to do

Why this happens

Causes may include severe lint buildup in ducts, blockage in the exhaust or hood, and damage such as crushing or kinking of the duct.

How to fix it

Do not use the dryer until the vent is cleaned. Clean the entire exhaust vent from the dryer to the outside wall. For this level of blockage, consider hiring a professional vent cleaning service.
