One thing we've notice is that the lint seems collect in one corner instead of over the entire lint catcher. What might this indicate? What do I need to do at this point? Thx :)

Thx :) Bob, The lint build up, or lack of, would indicate an air flow issue. Your first check needs to be at the exhaust vent pipes and vent hood. Make sure the piping is not clogged or restricted, if you have vinyl flex vent, remove it and install a rigid or semi rigid aluminum flex vent. Check the rear drum seal and make sure it's not torn, folded or damaged, and of course make sure the drum is not overloaded.
