Help need with older dryer not collecting lint properly
I’ve been having issues with my dryer that was with the house my husband and I purchased last summer. I believe what is happening is the lint trap isn’t sitting properly, so lint balls up and collects inside the hosing and where it releases outside so none of our clothes dry in the 1hr 30 min cycle. We clean the lint trap every cycle, and we clean outside very often since I think that can be dangerous if it builds up.
I have tried replacing that whole lint trap white plastic part, including the part that is screwed on to the dryer. Same issue. My question is, do we cut our losses and just get a new dryer as I believe this one is quite old. Or is there something else I can try? I fix medical equipment for a living so I’m not afraid to try something if I get pointed in the right direction.
Thanks!
