[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please contact the fire inspector and insurance! I’ve been worrying about you- I’m the one who had a house fire that started with an errant overheated outlet by a wall full of lint. This isn’t like a saggy fence or a damp basement that can be put off for a couple of months- it’s literally a firetrap. I’m a Girl Scout leader and have my youngest Scouts use dryer lint for their first fires for a reason. [/quote]

You're too sweet; genuinely thank you for your concern!  I didn't know outlets would be the ones to do it; I'll definitely keep you posted on what I find out.  Talk soon, hopefully with positive news. :) -OP[/quote]

To the kind PP who followed up with me, I have an update: I deep-cleaned as much as I could of the dryer and the area under the lint trap itself, even though it was very clean already, and we have a suuuuuper strong laundry detergent smell in there now (?) that you can smell as soon as you enter the condo.  The smell necessitated us closing the dryer door, and it's been surprisingly dry inside since Friday afternoon.  I wonder if this is the wall wind blowing the detergent smell in.  In any case, I'm going to keep an eye on things for a few days and see if the moisture inside the dryer returns or not.[/quote]
