Run the dryer without the vent hose attached.

When you say the trap is clean, did you remove the back panel and clean the trap housing/exhaust housing, as per Caber's suggestion?

Open up the dryer from the back and vacuum everything.
Remove the internal housing and vacuum again.
You would be amazed as to what gets past the trap and into the housing.
I recently had the same issue and this was the solution.
And I made about $5 in change, screws, ear plugs, and a very dry Elk hair fly.

Then vacuum out the exhaust line to the outside house vent.
