I live in North America.

My dryer has a lint trap.

My vent line needs to be cleaned regularly to clear lint.

Lint traps are not 100% effective and if you haven't checked your dryer vent for lint recently, you should. If the heat from the dryer builds up enough, the lint can very easily start a fire.

Be safe out there folks.
