faulty element, lint build up

Just replaced a bad element in this electric dryer and found a huge build up of lint both in the dryer and backed up the venting. A different company had been out recently and not mentioned it or cleaned it out. This is a huge safety hazard, as well as bad business. If you’re in a customer’s home or doing your own repair, please check the other components and take care of any safety hazards before completing the job. If you can’t get it clean enough, recommend a duct cleaning company to ensure this doesn’t come back on you.
