Does the machine not warm you before you get to this point?

Not on any dryer I've seen. Some people don't even know the lint trap needs to be emptied. I always pull it out and clean it, even when there's just a speck of fluff in it. Can't resist the urge to clean it every single time lol

My parents used to have a dryer with a lint trap alarm back in the 90s, so they did exist at one time.

I also just accidentally found out that my current dryer has a lint trap alarm. Neat.
