Why would you have a fire?

Laundry fires are usually because
1. You didn't clean the lint put if the trap/hoses/ or exhaust

Or

2. You are washing and drying a rag soaked in fuel of some kind.

Both reasons for fire have little to do with the age of the machines.... unless you only clean out the lint when you replace the drier.... so. Pull out the drier now, pull the hose off the wall, clean it out, clean the port on the outside if the house... figure out how to clean it from one end to the other. Then take the drier apart, just enough to clean out the tube/duct that starts at the lint trap and ends where it exits the machine. It is true with an old machine those can get pretty full.

But... once that is all clean... you are good.

I pulled the refrigerator out of the corner and cleaned out all the dust. The wall feels hot behind the fridge.
Guess I should do the dryer next. The duct is cemented to the wall but I think I can loosen it from the dryer if I can pull it away from the wall.

Usually the pipe going through the wall is stuck in there... but from the drier to the wall is usually something more like a vacuum hose... kind of accordian tin foil covered paper stuff...

That accordian hose fits over the metal exit duct on the drier... then onto the end of the metal duct end in the wall/slightly accessible from the wall.

At times the removable hose holds onto each end just by pressure, and some times it needs a metal spring clamp.

That hose is super inexpensive, and often needs to be replaced when you pull out the drier to clean everything out. It is thin, fiddly, and highly annoying to get it set up... if you get mad at it you will rip it.
