[@misteron07]

Even if you clean the lint filter every time you still get lint that comes out the exhaust and sometimes you have to clean the lint hose and inside the dryer. I keep an extra long nozzle handy for extra cleaning out lint. you can also use a bottle type brush that's made for cleaning out dryer lint. when the belt breaks that the best time to totally clean out the dryer. its easy when the front cover is removed.

[@DeFinisLand]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you. I followed every step you showed and my dryer is working great and I believe prevented a possible worse case scenario of an eventual fire. This is really great. Thank you. I will subscribe to your channel now.

I'm a home inspector and see a lot of long runs on dryer vent hoses and also plastic vent hoses. I always recommend that the plastic hoses be converted to metal for safety. But!

We've had our Kenmore dryer for almost four years now. It recently had begun to take a lot longer to try a load of clothes. Your video came up when I searched for a solution. We were shocked at how clogged our lint trap and exhaust hose were! The trap and exhaust hose had MAYBE an inch of open flow space! I am OCD about cleaning the trap filter and even clean it halfway through the cycle when doing towels... I recently learned you should hand wash the lint filter regularly, I had no clue. Your tutorial was so informative and easy to follow. Thanks for posting! P.S. We have 2 gray tuxedo kittens (4 months and 2.5 months old), Oliver and Olivia, who also found our dryer cleaning chore a very interesting ordeal! ;)

Thanks for taking the time to do that. My dryer was giving intermittent heat, squeeking, and rattling - it was going on 12 years old. The thorough cleaning did the trick. I started to get a little nervous when it was all in separate pieces but it is all back together and working! Thank You!

[@nagawamba8731]

Well, heck..... thanks, Bill... I moved into this rental a couple of months ago and bought a used dryer, but it's never worked too well. I did the easy stuff first and went out to see if maybe a squirrel had stored something in the vent hole. Put on my gloves and stuck my hand in the hole and pulled out.... a large T-shirt, much too large for a squirrel. I think my problem may be solved but now I know I can break into the machine and do some further clean up if there continues to be an issue.

Hey Bill, great video. My wife called me today saying our dryer hasn't been drying and I was going to buy new washer and dryers since these are older ones we bought with our home.

11 years later, this video is still coming in handy! Thanks so much! My dryer seemed to be working, it ran, was hot, but wasn't drying. My husband offered to replace it, but I was fairly certain it was an air flow issue. Thanks to your helpful video, I took it apart, and sure enough, it was packed with lint at the base of the hose. All cleaned out now and my 21 year dryer is running like new again!

[@caledonmike777]

Hi Bill, Thank you for your videos on fixing dryer problems. Mine stopped heating a few weeks ago. I tried your trick of bouncing the upper stat off the ground, and it worked! Perfect! So I also removed the lint filter housing as you showed in your video, and I blew the huge, thick “carpet” of lint out of it, and it really was a serious carpet of crap! My dryer is working perfectly now. Thank you! I plan on fishing a wire hanger through the duct with a rag tied to the end of it to clean out the 15 feet or so of duct from the dryer to the outside of the house. I have one question though; is it safe to assume that the stat is ok now after banging it on the ground? I mean will it work as safely as a replacement, new, stat? I keep running down to the basement to see if the dryer is ok when I have laundry drying, but can I assume that is will be ok?

[@BillNewberry]

+Caledon mike I've intentionally blocked up dryers and the non-resettable thermostat will still trip as normal. I've even used a lighter to trip it, then reset it at least a dozen times to see if it still did the same thing, and it does. I wouldn't worry about it one bit. You've cleaned the dryer, which is good. That's the real safety hazard in my opinion. Thanks for Watching!

Thank you so much. That was exactly the problem. With your instructions, I felt confident taking apart the machine, and of course I found ten years of accumulated detritis. Now the dryer is running and drying like new. Great video!

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

I would also like to suggest if you use dryer sheets to remove the lint filter, run water over the lint screen and notice the water pooling on top of the screen rather than pass through the screen. dryer sheets have an agent on them and the agent stops the free flow of air. So clean the lint filter with hot water and soap at least once a month, this will also help cycle the moister out of the dryer rather than the dryer having to evaporate the moister.

[@tiarara2011]

Thanks for that info regarding Dryer Sheets.......My wife uses them like a bandit.....and I do make sure Lint Filter is clear, but have noticed that I've been having more trouble getting the loose lint off of the Filter than ever before in the past, probably "Pre-Dryer Sheet Era" for us.....the lint is often very wet, and grabs the screen pretty good as I try removing it all.......I guess the Downy Days, Fabric Softener in the washer might be best option??

I am so grateful for this video! We replaced our dryer a few months ago thinking it was our old one, but when our new one started giving us issues, I knew it had to be something else! After watching this video, I went right outside to check our vent. We live on the back of a golf course and you'd never believe it but we've had a golf ball logged into the vent of our dryer for who knows how long! Still going to do a good cleaning since that could not have been good for our hosing, but I'm so glad I found the problem - even if it was a very specific and odd problem! Haha.

[@rgeorge9260]

This is an awesome video! Thanks so much. I have a sneaking suspicion what my dryer's problem is now: the lint housing. I washed and cleaned some EXTREMELY dirty pet blankets, and after doing so, the dryer stopped performing. There is heat, but the clothes won't dry no matter how many cycles I run it. I think a tell-tale clue is that after each cycle, I see little or no lint in the lint screen! I checked the vent hose, and the metal venting itself to ensure it is free from obstruction. Even ran the dryer for a cycle with no vent hooked-up, and guess what? Still extremely damp clothes. Again, everything pointing to an airflow problem within the dryer itself. Shouldn't be too bad to fix (I hope). I'll let you know! Thx

[@SeventhCopy]

Hi Bill, I wanted to take the time to say: THANK YOU SO MUCH! We noticed our clothes were starting to smell kinda weird and were going crazy thinking it was our washing machine.

I just replaced the belt because it was old and broke , rollers are good , no blockage of lint is all clean.

Hey Bill, My dryer stopped heating. I did everything you said and you were right. The high heat fuse went bad, I tore into this thing expecting to see the remains of lent wookie. I did not find any real blockage at all. But then the dryer is getting old. 10 yrs or older. In one of your other video's, you said to take it off and smack it on the ground. So I slapped it around several times. But that did not help. So I threw it on the floor, hard. When I checked it with the meter it was working. But as faith would have it one of the tabs broke. So, I still had to go and buy a new one. At any rate, I thank you so much for your help. She is up and running. And the wife thinks I am a hero. lol

He kind of made fun of me for trying this. But as I said before you are right it does work. Perhaps not all the time. I paid for the parts and before I left he came up to me and said I got to give this a try. I did tell him to be careful and not break the tabs. I just ran my first load in the dryer and it seems to be working. I hate doing laundry about as bad a grocery shopping. Thank you for making these video's.

[@marieamericus8074]

One other thing I like to tell people who use fabric softener or dryer sheets. Take your dryer filter & try to run water thru it. If the water is beading up on the filter & not moving thru...air is not gonna be able to move freely either. The softner will build up on the filter & you won't think twice about it because you can't really see it. I take my filter out once every few months & wash it by hand with Dawn dish soap & warm water. Dry it completely before reinstalling it in the dryer. You'll notice a huge difference in how well your dryer is working!! Hope this helps someone! It's the little things sometimes!!

[@angelalangdon7714]

I tell all my friends this. I had a boss years ago, his daughter's house burned down, and it started because of the all the lint on her lint screen.. After that, I even take mine out and take a soft brush and use Dawn dish soap to clean mine, I usually do it once or twice a year. And I Always take the Lint off the Screen after Every Load! People don't really realize that Lint left on the screen can actually start a fire. I also never run my dryer unless I am home, just to be on the safe side.. This was a great video..

Not if the boiler is hook up to it also. But if you're just using that kind of venting for your dryer, i'm sure that would be ok. Smooth wall venting is always better than the ribbed stuff. Thanks for Watching!

[@robertfrapples2472]

Another thing to check if your electric dryer is not making proper heat are the circuit breakers in your 240v power. There are two- one for your motor and controls, and the other for the heating element. One can trip without the other due to the greater load. If the one for the heating element is tripped, you won't get heat, but the dryer will function normally otherwise. I've had this happen in two different houses.

I just had to have my dryer on the second floor next to my bedroom but the contractor never told me the negatives to this set up If i knew then I would have put the dryer against the outside wall and not in the middle of the house where it needs to go up and over my room before exiting out of the house. Such a long way for lint to travel. causes my dryer to over work and for clothes not to dry as fast. grrr.

Thanks a lot!, our dryer stopped blowing air, and your video was just what I need to fix it.
