Question:

How do you pick a good value for a home fire extinguisher?

Even if I limit my search to type ABC (plus K for the kitchen if available), brand-name units, UL-approved, there is stll a wide range of prices. Is a $60 extinguisher 4x as good as a $15? I can go to Lowes, Home Depot, Sam's Club (or Walmart if it's a really really good deal).

be careful. my uncle went to jail for stocking. he just wouldn't leave her alone.
Personally I would check to see if the lint filter is causing a problem, you may also have lint in the bottom of the cabinet. This can be simply removed by someone who is handy at this sort of thing, but if you don't have someone who can assist you, call a qualified tradesman to check it out and deal with it as its always best to be safe rather than sorry I would also check the position of your smoke detector - if plausible perhaps it could be relocated to another just as relevant position or perhaps you could use your dryer in another location if all the other things check out first. I am guessing that your smoke dectector is wired in as I have a similar problem with the two detectors in my home when I use my grill even tho there is no smoke - it sometimes goes off and really startles me. I just make sure I have a piece of dowel or broomstick handy to depress the button when it goes off. Hope this may help you to work out your problem
Hang a pair of underwear over it to block the fumes.
