The dryer exhaust vent is either too long, has too many bends, or is clogged with too much lint.

Our dryer took an hour to dry a load. Then I straightened the vent and switched to rigid metal pipe from that plastic slinky crap, and loads take 20 minutes now.

I gotta do something. My situation is the same - 50 minute no matter what - longer if there are jeans in there.

My vent goes into the attic and spews the lint there unabated... wonderful set-up.
