The product, in the report: Kroger fabric softening DRYER SHEETS 200ct.
My wife reported to me that our clothes dryer was no longer heating. When I investigated, I found that a fabric softener sheet had glued itself to the exhaust vent inside the drum, impeding airflow. I was able to verify with a multimeter that the thermal fuse on the heating coil had tripped. So in summary, fabric softener sheets seem to have nearly caused a fire and it was likely only prevented by the safety mechanisms of the clothes dryer.
