I took the back off our dryer. I just cleaned it 3 years ago and its amazing how dirty it got in just 3 years and I put a new dryer hose on to. It gets that dirty in just 3 years .imagine people that never clean out there dryers. I have Hurd there's thousands of dryer fires due to lint build up every year.

@Pooky1 The Q used to sell a gadget that would go way down and get all the lint. Said it prevented fires. Haven't heard or seen it in years.

It is amazing what collects even after reaching in with the lint gadget. I'm going to have our handyman unhook ours in Spring and give it a thorough cleaning.
