Help prevent dryer fires:
Always make sure the lint filter is in place & make sure to clean it out after each use. Failure to clean out lint traps is the main cause of dryer fires.
Make sure the dryer is properly vented and that dryer vent flaps are not freezing shut or sticking (especially in winter).
