And the information is presented well. Double win!

Right

For sure. I have the exact dryer. It's fairly new but I clean the lint trap after every use and once in a while, I vacuum the acordian exhaust.

@@jayzee3303 I also clean the lint trap after every use, but its placed in the shed (no place inside) and my region always has dust storms so unfortunately vacuuming and cleaning the lint trap were not enough :(

This is literally what I just said!!

Thank you for the Love! Awesome to hear you got your mom up and running again.

@@LeanOnYourRep I hav a question my dryer had the green cord duck taped together and not hooked up to anything when I bought it from a appliance shop will it be a issue and the dryer is working fine

@@LeanOnYourRep the part U pointed at and said if your air duck over heats it shuts everything down well my cord is ducked taped and nothing is touching it and my dryer still works

I agree!

Thank you Rob

I also have this dryer with the same issue. Did you end up trying this? Did it help? I’m about to open mine up too.

Can you tell me how to clean that?

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.

@@barrygrant2907 Thanks. It's been a while so I don't remember whether I took that off or not. What about the silver housing that holds the heating element? Does that need to be cleaned also?

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

Thank you for taking time to reply. It is very helpful..

Also, it's hard to believe people don't take just a few seconds to clean out their lint trap before each cycle! How hard is that to do? Had the previous owner done that this machine might still be in their home.

Same

This just happened to me as well!

Same issue the lint does not stick to the dryer screen. Any tips for resolving this?

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.

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.

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

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 KZfaq that show you how.

Hi Judy did you ever get an answer to this?

Likely your exhaust vent to the outside is clogged.

I just had this issue - took 3 1 hour dry cycles to dry towels. When taking my dog out, I pulled off the cover of the exhaust hose and it was full of a huge ball of lint that came out. Dries fine now, but I am going to also replace the lint filter and clean the inside as this video shows.

@@rachelewilken930 WHAT IS A DOG ON A DRYER?

@@mikel.laughridge9480 a dog is a four-legged creature, also known as a canine. I took my canine to the exterior yard of my home to use the restroom, which also happens to be where my dryer is vented to, as it turns out that venting it inside your home can kill you.... and your canine. Anywho, while outside with my canine (my dryer was still inside with no canine in or near it), I removed the dryer vent cap and found it was full of lint; removing said lint caused the dryer to begin drying properly again. No canines were harmed in the making of this statement and I always make sure to keep my canine out of my basement and especially my dryer. I would recommend others also do not install dogs onto their dryers.
