A dryer lint trap is a device found in clothes dryers that collects lint and debris from clothing during the drying process. It is typically a removable screen or filter located near the door or on top of the dryer. The trap prevents lint from clogging the dryer vent, which can lead to reduced efficiency and potential fire hazards. Regularly cleaning the lint trap is essential for maintaining dryer performance and safety. A clogged trap can cause longer drying times and increased energy consumption. Proper maintenance helps ensure that the dryer operates efficiently and reduces the risk of fires caused by lint buildup in the dryer vent.
