IMO there might be two valid reasons to drop the pan. Cleaning the screen is a given but a visual check of things and the amount of sediment in the pan to make sure all is as good as the lack of symptoms suggest might be worthwhile.

The tightness of a couple of things should be examined. The screw holding the pot metal manual valve operating lever to the shaft has a known problem of loosening up and the small pin holding the valve link to that lever has been known to loosen and drop out. Checking the condition of both items might avoid a future surprise.
