When dryer is running, the back 6 inches of the top of the lid gets very hot, as well as part of the back panel. Seems to be drying okay, although I haven't let it run all the way through because it is so hot. Have cleaned out the vent on the back of the dryer, as well as what I can get to in the wall. The vent (unfortunately) goes up through the roof, and I've not been able to get up to the top yet! Appreciate any advice!
