.... Water?

Are you sure you checled the lint trap? That should be purely dry lint, not any water.

Not checling/cleaning it (every load) is a pretty severe fire hazard.

    I think I see what's going on here.

    If you have a combo washer/dryer (common at least where I am in Europe), the lint trap is wet and it uses water to rinse it towards a collection point. I use a paper towel to pull it out each load.

    Stærk Stark contrast to separate washer/dryer which will have a dry lint trap in the dryer.
