[DIY] Re: Back of dryer is hot

 

FOR FIRE SAFETY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY: All dryers should have the ductwork removed and cleaned annually; dryer lint DOES accumulate and cause over heating/ restricted air flow; also need to check outside flapper operation.
<<Is it ok/normal for the top-rear of the dryer to be so hot it burns to the touch? I really should not put anything on top, is that correct? I have a foil coiled flex tube for the duct leading outside to small vent. Is there any routine maintenance that should be done with those items. Have not had any repairs for 10 years. The machines are 14 years old.

Also, is there an issue re: stacking a full size dryer on top of full size front load washer? Really would like to rearrange current layout. It claims to be do-able per the manual.>>
