Inspect Vent and Disconnect Dryer Hose

What happens here

Begin by visually inspecting the exterior dryer vent to confirm the presence of lint buildup and obstruction. The video shows a severely clogged vent opening. Next, move the dryer away from the wall to access the flexible dryer vent hose. Disconnect the dryer vent hose from the back of the dryer. This particular hose was secured with a zip tie, which was cut off. Inspect the inside of the disconnected hose and the dryer's exhaust port for lint accumulation. The narrator highlights a significant amount of lint and debris that has built up.

Goal: Confirm vent blockage and prepare the dryer for cleaning by disconnecting the hose.
