Blow out the dryer duct.

Clean the lint trap on your dryer.

I know it sounds like something everyone already does, but when I moved into my house I found the lint buildup astronomical. The previous owners had hung a clothesline in there because I'm guessing the dryer didn't work well.

Is it DIY? This sounds like one of the things I'd rather hire a professional for.

Depends how long it’s been. If it’s not too bad, it takes 5 minutes if you have a leaf blower.

But if it’s been 20 years… https://youtu.be/-ukqhzvljvI?si=Bso65IJtZhlRKvbJ

Wow. Nasty! We had ours professionally done less than a year ago and I'm pretty sure it was expensive, so maybe I'll look into DIY next time.
