This is not a situation where careful continued use until a cleaning is scheduled is acceptable in Pocono Ranch Lands.
A dryer significantly hot to the touch is running at elevated internal temperature because it cannot exhaust its thermal output efficiently in Pocono Ranch Lands. The heating element is cycling more frequently. This is a direct fire risk indicator in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA. Stop the dryer and schedule a cleaning before the next use in Pocono Ranch Lands.
The dryer cannot exhaust moisture efficiently because the restricted duct limits airflow in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA. Every additional cycle uses more energy and adds more wear to the heating element, drum bearing, and motor in Pocono Ranch Lands.

Lint is fine, dry, organic fiber in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA. Its high surface-area-to-mass ratio means it has an enormous amount of surface exposed to oxygen relative to its total mass in Pocono Ranch Lands. That ratio is what makes it ignite easily from a relatively modest heat source in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA. In a restricted, heated dryer duct, lint has exactly the heat source it needs in Pocono Ranch Lands. The only variable is how much lint has accumulated and how hot the duct has gotten in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA.
A dryer is designed to exhaust its thermal output through the duct system in Pocono Ranch Lands. When the duct is restricted, the thermal output has nowhere to go in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA. The dryer runs hotter. The duct temperature rises in Pocono Ranch Lands. The heating element cycles more frequently trying to maintain drum temperature against a system that cannot exhaust the heat it is producing in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA. Over multiple loads in a restricted duct, the duct temperature rises progressively closer to the ignition temperature of the accumulated lint in Pocono Ranch Lands. The burning smell that precedes a dryer fire is lint at or near ignition temperature in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA.
A dryer vent fire that reaches the wall structure produces fire damage that typically costs tens of thousands of dollars in remediation in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA. The duct passes through wall framing and floor assemblies throughout its run in Pocono Ranch Lands. When lint in the duct ignites and the fire reaches the surrounding framing, the structural fire damage extends well beyond the dryer and the immediate laundry area in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA. Annual dryer vent cleaning costing $100 to $300 prevents the situation that produces that remediation cost in Pocono Ranch Lands.
A dryer running two cycles per load uses twice the energy per load in Pocono Ranch Lands. Across a full year at typical household frequency, the additional energy cost can approach or exceed the cost of the annual vent cleaning in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA. Replacement cost for a failed dryer is $500 to $1,500 or more in Pocono Ranch Lands. The annual cleaning prevents both in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA.
Lint accumulates with every load in Pocono Ranch Lands, PA. The accumulation is continuous and directional. It does not reduce on its own in Pocono Ranch Lands.
