A restricted vent reduces that airflow and the clothes remain damp at the end of the cycle in Meriden, CT.
A dryer that is hot to the touch on the exterior surfaces during operation has restricted airflow preventing heat from exhausting through the vent in Meriden. The heat that is supposed to be exhausted with the moisture is instead building up inside the dryer cabinet in Meriden, CT. This elevated temperature is both a component wear accelerant and the temperature environment in which lint ignition risk increases in Meriden.
