My wife complained that the dryer has been running for 3 1/2 hours.

I just replaced the vent hose a couple of weeks ago and the dryer has
been working fine.

Now I went down to the basement to see what was going on and the vent
hose is full of water. Gallons.

We're getting ready to put our house on the market, really didn't want
to buy new appliances just to give them away.

Any ideas?

If you used a metal hose instead of plastic and the laundry room is
relatively cool due to air conditioning, the problem could be simple
to fix by changing to a plastic hose. I've had to insulate a few long
dryer vents because of condensation forming in the vent. As others may
have already pointed out, your vent could be clogged. Look outside and
you may find that there is a plastic grid in your your dryer vent that
could be blocked with lint.
