The exterior vent flap is an unglamorous part of a T8402C installation and the cause of a remarkable number of poor-drying complaints. Flaps seize with lint, get painted shut during exterior decorating, or are blocked by a bird nest. The dryer then recirculates its own hot, wet air and the load never dries. It costs nothing to walk outside and look, and it should be the first thing checked on any vented model.
