cleaning the filter with soap and water to remove the film did the
trick. before cleaning it, the filter screen would hold water with
no problem. almost immediately after cleaning it though the outside
screen became clogged and it continued to not dry well. I'm not sure
why or where the excess lint came from, but once it was removed too
it has been working like new. thanks for the tips.

Why do you have a screen on the termination? If it is a wide-opening
critter guard, that's OK. Screen mesh is not OK.
