If the water does pool it needs to be cleaned with warm soapy water (dish soap) and a small brush (a tooth brush works). This builds up over time and can not only burn out the heating unit of your dryer, it could cause a fire! You should clean the screen filter at least every six months. This will not only save the heating unit of your dryer it will make your dryer last longer and save on energy. It could very well prevent the chance of a fire too!
