It's likely being overworked and therefore growing mildew on the fins. Clean the filter and rinse the coil with mild soap/water mix. Wipe down the unit with a damp rag.
The year it was produced has no relevancy on tyhe dust in your home. You may want to consider having your ducts cleaned and possibly a pull and clean on your blower wheel. Also a good cleaning on the evaporator with routine filter changes will help with dust as well. Best Wishes.
Check your lint filter, exhaust duct, and check if duct flapper is opening fully or not. Allow some time between loads and don't stuff too many clothes.
If your dryer is not drying like it once did or if you just have nottaken the time to give yourself a clean dryer in a long time then youneed to do that. At least once a year the dryer cleaning should takeplace. Lint build up in the dryer duct is one of the main causesfor your dryer to fail.
try two things. first, run it empty without the lint filter installed. if it gives you the same error message, install the filter, but disconnect the flexible duct connected to the back of the dryer. try it again. if it still wont work, you will have to get it serviced and cleaned out. if it works with the ducting removed from the back, your dryer duct is clogged up. check your yellow pages for dryer duct cleaning. The lint filter error message is just your machines way of saying it is not getting enough air flow. It can be caused by a clogged duct also.
Air flow in the duct work is restricted... and the dryer sensor thinks that the filter is clogged.
You will need to take a fluffy cleaning wand and, with the filter removed, try loosening up some of the accumulated line in the duct.
Next, remove the lint pipe from the wall connector and try cleaning it and the pipe for as much distance as you can reach.
Finally, go outside and check the vent. It needs to be clean and clear of obstructions... also, needs to close when the machine is off.
You can do testing on the outside vent with "air dry" setting - hot air is not required... Keep cleaning ductwork until the outside vent passes air freely.
After air flow is restored, the sensor in the "VENT" alarm will act nice.....and stay off
Based on the info you have given here, I am going to make some assumptions. In "cleaning out all the components" you cleaned the air filter or changed it, cleaned the duct-work, and the intake combustion chamber? When the "furnace stays lite" the pilot and the main burner stays on? Lastly, when it "continues to blow cold air" is this when the main burner is on after long periods of time? If the answers are all yes, then maybe some of the ducts have come off, or the burners aren't working correctly.
