Thought I was doing a good thing!

Thanks for your reply. I thought I was doing something good for my dryer. Now I wish I'd left it alone.

I did notice that there is now a lot of lint outside of the house, by the dryer vent opening outside.

I did not disassemble the dryer in any way. I just shoved the brush down into the opening where the lint screen was and pushed it around. Then I stuck the flat vacuum hose attachment down there and shoved that around.

I will try to remove the bottom panel today and see if anything is stuck in the blower fan. The dryer was not only noisy, it was vibrating like crazy.

Thanks for your help.
