How do you keep the moisture out of the dryer vent hose ? thanks

Remove the hose hose.:wink2:

the reason I AM ASKING IS while the dryer is running the lint sticks tto the sides of the vent causing a clog is there anything you can do to prevent that...

If you maintain the filter the vent hose should only need to be cleaned a couple of times / year depending on use of course and the hose construction. With the length of ours and only 2 of us remaining in the house cleaning approx. every 3-4 years seems to be the schedule. Dryers aren't normally maintenance free.

Also note that adjustable vents like that pictured above tend to collect lint easier than smooth-sided vents.

How long is your vent and what is it made of? Also, does it run through an unheated space. With a properly functioning dryer filter there should only be a small amount of lint in the vent stream, but if it is overly long, not smooth or runs through a cold space what lint is present can fall out of the airstream and build up if not inspected.

we clean it out about 4-5 times a year
