DAE vacuum out the vent line every time you replace a dryer thermal fuse?

I learned this after a few annoying callbacks. Dryers that keep blowing thermal fuses often have blocked vents, not just a bad part. Last week, I found one where the lint was packed solid behind the dryer. Idk, maybe it's just me, but I make it a point to vacuum out the vent line every time now. It adds like five minutes to the job and stops the same issue from happening again. I've told a couple other repair folks, and they said it saved them headaches too. Just a friendly warning to always look past the obvious fix.

I mean, it's just five minutes to vacuum the vent and it saves a ton of trouble later.

Ever get called back for a clogged vent? Such a hassle, but vacuuming it out each time fixes it for good.
