Dryer Fires I Agree Axial Air Flow Is not the problem, but rather dryers that have the heating elements directly behind the drum like older WH, most Frigidaire Current , GE-HP and older Maytag HOH dryers. These dryers can get the clothing so hot that the clothes them selves catch fire, and with the exception of FD gas dryers this problem is worse in electric dryers.
The lint build-up that many dryers get is not the biggest problem but rather dryers being operated with bad vent systems or dryers that have worn out parts that are very noisy and have to be run for 2 to 3 hours to get a normal load dry.
I will try to post a few pictures of a FD dryer we picked up last week that was being operated on a very bad vent system. | ||

I've opened up the bottom panel
of my Duet Dryer - and there was like an inch of lint on the flat surface. I vacuumed it all out. I keep my vent run clean but it also vents through the roof which I freaking HATE! I've taken steps to keep the vent run clean and clothes dry decently fast - But here's my ?
Won't lint ultimately collect (at least to some extent) inside the cabinet of the dryer even if you have a great vent system? I mean, I know it will be much worse with a bad vent system obviously - but I still think lint will accumulate inside regardless over time. | ||
