dryer vent exhaust temperature
What are the Vent temperatures ?
With an empty load, Timed Dry, High Heat, the vent temperature should cycle somewhere between 135F and 160F
Check the Vent air temperature at the back of the Dryer using a probe-type thermometer.

Dryer Vent:
Vent should be rigid metal.
Short lengths of flexible metal may be OK, if not crimped when moving the Dryer into place.
NO plastic
NO PVC
NO screws
Foil Duct Tape is OK.
Check / clean the Dryer Vent
Disconnect the Dryer Vent and check for good air-flow there and where it exits the house.
