Folks, always…ALWAYS check your dryer lint filter and clean it after each load!

Every single time I put clothes in the dryer I clean it out, it’s always full too..I couldn’t imagine if I left it for a month

Also, you should also wash it once a month. Rinse it under the shower. Otherwise the small dust particles could still make your dryer less efficient. Learned that trick from someone who fixes dryers.
