The most common and clearest symptom of a clogged dryer vent is clothes that used to dry in one cycle now requiring two in University Of Virginia, VA.

A restricted vent reduces that airflow and the clothes remain damp at the end of the cycle in University Of Virginia, VA.
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 University Of Virginia. The heat that is supposed to be exhausted with the moisture is instead building up inside the dryer cabinet in University Of Virginia, VA. This elevated temperature is both a component wear accelerant and the temperature environment in which lint ignition risk increases in University Of Virginia.
A burning smell during dryer operation is a specific warning sign that should be treated as urgent in University Of Virginia, VA.
