Hot, humid air passes from the dryer through the exhaust vent hose to the outside. But this air isn't only hot and humid: it's also laden with lint, dust, and other microscopic particles. Over time, this debris can build up inside the exhaust vent, eventually preventing hot air from escaping. As a result, that warm, moist air remains inside the vent tube—and gradually turns into condensation as it cools. The solution? Inspect and clear out the vent duct so air can pass freely from the dryer to the outside.
