Dryer Thermistor
The NTC thermistor provides critical temperature data to the control logic; if its internal resistance drifts, it reports an artificially high thermal ramp rate. This erroneous data tricks the dryer's microprocessor into concluding that airflow is restricted, thereby maintaining the 'Check Vent' status light even if the exhaust path is physically clear.

Dryer Lint Filter
Over time, silicone and wax residues from dryer sheets create a transparent, hydrophobic film across the fine mesh of the filter. This film increases the static pressure within the drum and restricts CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) output, which the thermal sensors interpret as a blocked external vent line.

Dryer Blower Wheel
If the blower wheel is partially stripped at the motor shaft or if the vanes are heavily impacted with lint, the mechanical efficiency of air displacement drops significantly. The resulting lack of airflow causes heat to saturate the internal ducting too quickly, triggering the obstruction alert system.
