Michele had mentioned that the clothes were taking longer to dry than normal, so I took the back off and removed the exhaust duct. What I found was enough to scare the bejeebers out of me. The ports were almost completely blocked- mostly with cat hair- and there was more down by the fan motor. We always cleaned the lint screen after every load, but this wasn't readily visible. This could have been a real fire hazard if not caught in time.
The takeaway? If your dryer-ours is gas, but this would apply to electric as well- and seems to take more time than usual, check the vent or have someone do it for you.
