Excellent. Thank you! It's hard to imagine that lint build up can have such a catastrophic outcome as a fire. Still, it seemed like a daunting task until I watched your video. My dryer's now all squeaky clean and safe. Another thing I learned recently is to never turn a dryer on and go to bed, or go out. It's an element...like a stove!!!

Men you need more views, your info is spot on. Just recently my mothers dryer stopped pushing hot air and with your videos I discovered the previous owner bypassed the thermal fuse, so now the high limit and the heat element thermostat were toasted instead of just a cheap little fuse, ended up replacing everything just to be safe and cleaning the ventilation tubes.

@barrygrant2907 3 года назад

That's the part he removed from the back. The entire duct comes out in one piece. Two screws at the top where the lint screen slides in and 3-4 at the bottom. there will also be globs of lint behind the blower fan, which needs to be scrubbed with a small brush (toothbrush) and the outlet duct can be cleaned out by hand. What he didn't bother to show was all the lint inside the dryer body than builds up. Takes about 15 minutes to pop the top up and remove the front for a thorough cleaning.

@rainbowru 3 года назад

Informative video, My Maytag bravo XL dryer is not catching lint in the lint catcher. Only one inch of the very bottom of the catcher traps lint on it. If I take it apart like in your video I will I most likely find it clog up and will just need cleaning or more likely it has a bigger issues. When I removed the vent pipe from the dry to the wall it had a cup of water in the line. Thanks

@LeanOnYourRep 3 года назад

If you have water in your line, most likely your dryer vents through the roof and the screen on the roof vent is blocked causing the moisture to trickle back down. If this is a case you're going to have to go into the attic and disassemble the pipe you'll just need aluminum tape for when you put it back together. No need to climb on the roof

I figured I needed to take the back of dryer off to get to lint vent but when I did, I couldn't get the back of the lint vent off. Searched all night and gave up. Started again today and actually did everything in your video, however, the back of the lint vent would not just come out like it did for you after removing the screws. What am I missing? I took every screw off like you said and it won't come off!!! Need my dryer with wet clothes in it to start working. HELP!!!

Last year the dryer stopped working the temp thermostat failed The dryer alway had as slight chirp when running so while we had it out I tool it apart and cleaned it of lint and changed the belt tensioner and the belt chirp sound is gone. I didn't notice any improvement in drying speed but the dryer want clogged up just had lint laying in the chassi. The dryer has always dried well up till it stopped heating properly. Now I have a steam dryer at work that's mine also that one was pretty clogged up the main vent line was clear though.

@elisebrown5157 2 месяца назад

Question: what would cause water to condense in the vent hose? I just took apart my whirlpool dryer (front and back) to clean out all the lint. I cleaned out the vent hose and the vent to the outside. some of the lint trapped in the vent hose was wet (not just damp, but you could wring water from it). I rinsed it out, cleaned it thoroughly and hung it up to dry. Then I reattached it to the dryer and the outside vent and ran the empty dryer on high for an hour and an no heat tumble for 30 minutes, alternating that 3 times. It then sat overnight. I thought it would be bone dry the next day, but when I uncoupled it from the dryer, there was about 1/2-1 cup of water in the hose and dripping out of the dryer vent in the back. This was an empty dryer!! What on earth caused this??? Is it just latent humidity from the air it's sucking in? Is there a way to prevent this? If it's happening regularly, no wonder my dryer gets stopped up so frequently.

@temomoreno2018 2 года назад

Great video. You sound like you have lots of experience. I watched your video because today my Whirlpool dryer started smelling like something is burning.

@knittingnighthiker 3 года назад

I don't know if you can stop it, but if you go to a big box store like Menards or Home Depot, look for a dryer lint brush set. They are specifically designed to go down in the that chute and cling to the lint so you can pull it back out. Also, you can clean out your exhaust tubes. Works great and they aren't too expensive.

@savannahtraderful 3 года назад

The exhaust vent hose is short with mine so if I pull the screen out and run the dryer any loose lint blows through and goes outside clearing the vent.

@user-ix6dk6eu8e Год назад

When I go to pull my lent trap out it will roll off and fall inside the dryer. Whether it be a small amount or large. I need to know how to get inside my dryer to get all this lint out. I'm scared to use it because I am afraid it will catch on fire! I purchased the long brushes and the attachments for a vacuum. But both are too short to go to the base of the dryer.

@chloequintana232 2 года назад

Same with mine! Lint trap won’t go back into the slot. Feels like something is in there!

@MsLizRich Год назад

Lint doesn’t always get caught on the lint trap screen. Some goes around the screen and builds up in that compartment where the lint screen fits. As the lint trap goes in & out when you clean the screen, bits of loose lint get jammed in the bottom and it prevents the lint screen from fitting all the way in. If you have a vacuum cleaner with a hose, you can use the skinny vacuum attachment or even a flattened cardboard tube (from empty roll of paper towels) to extend your vacuum’s hose and reach the bottom of that compartment. You might have to duct tape the cardboard tube onto your vacuum’s hose to get a good seal. Once you vacuum the lint out of the compartment, the lint screen should fit much better. You’re also preventing a possible lint fire inside your dryer, so Good Job!!! FYI - check the lint you removed for coins, paper money, buttons, earrings, etc - anything that could have been forgotten in clothes pockets. If vacuuming the lint out doesn’t work, you may have to remove the screws that hold the front of the dryer on. There are other videos here on RU-vid that show you how.
