When I did it I always saw some lint on my roof so I assumed it was working, but wife continued to complain about the dryer being hot to the touch on the outside top. I called Desmond and he has a helper who goes up on the roof, and he found a wad of lint clogged in the exhaust flap. He told me that the lint gets moist overnight and hardens thus clogging he flap so it cannot open properly. So...I recommend calling Desmond who does right, and , most importantly, my wife stopped complaining (about this anyhow).
