Squirrels decided to crawl into our dryer vent and die. Yuck. I think there were two of them. Michael removed the large one from the dryer aperture, and I removed a smaller one from the vent tube.
Michael cleaned everything within reach with bleach, and I went to Lowes for some new vent tube sections to replace the one the squirrels were in. I've put it back together and run it for a half hour, and it seemed OK.
I do hope we won't have to take the dryer any farther apart.
I did fix the little flap on the vent door, so it now closes properly. Hopefully this will prevent recurrences.
