Turn on dryer, tap vent in every place you can. See what comes out.

P.S. lint/dust comes mostly from carpets. If you got lots of them you
should have lots of lint /dust.

Hi,

have a dryer I think its vents are clogged

Nothing beats pulling out the dryer and taking apart all the venting
pieces all the way from the dryer to the vent hood going
outside....check/clean as you go.

replace/upgrade to newer metal duct.

Solid metal is the best!!

Jeff. I recommend aluminum pipe as galvanized is not as smooth and lint will
hang up on it. From past expererince. 25 years in appliance repair. W W

You don't say what the duct instalation is like. Is it completely
visible to you? Or is some of it hidden in the walls?? If it
is visibel to you then you can partily dismantle it and take it
outside and clean out the lint with a stick, compressed air,
or even a snake. If the vent is not completely visible and
can't be dismantled, then you need to try to figure out how to
get a snake into the ductwork. I unclogged a pair of dryer vents
on a duplex that I own by removing the roof caps and dropping a
plumbers snake down the duct. I had the tennents set their
dryers on cool dry so that they would be blowing air up the
vent. As the snake loosened the lint, it came blowing up and
out the vent. When i was done I had one heck of a mess to
clean up off the roof and front yard.
