When venting is restricted, heater temperature rises, safety devices open more often,\n        and the element  s oxidation and deformation accelerate.\n      <\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"box\">\n      <div class=\"t3\" style=\"margin-top:0\">Root cause 2: Lint accumulation near the heater<\/div>\n      <p style=\"margin-top:0\">\n        Lint acts as an insulator and can trap heat.
