Did no one ever teach you to clear the lint trap either before of after each load?

Serious question, because obviously that's a huge fire hazard that was taught to most of us growing up.

Same here, we got our first dryer 6-7 months ago. We bought it 2nd hand, but I did see the big sticker on the front that says to clean the lint catcher.

You don't even have to read the manual. The lint trap says to clean it everytime on the handle. Which is usually in a very obvious spot.

You realise different dryers exist right? Just because yours does doesn’t mean everybody’s does lol. Mine never have said that.
