LG Dryer Lint Removal Beyond the Filter

My LG Dryer had a lot of lint in the area around and below the filter, this is the true story of how I cleaned it out.

I just want to thank you for uploading this video. Thanks to you, as not only a woman but someone with autism, I was able to do this same thing and remove a chapstick that had fallen down in the trap. Thank you for helping me save my husband trouble. ❤️

As another woman with autism, I second this! Perfectly clear video.

Dads are cool! I have a brand new LG Tower for 2023. I think I should share what I have learned with the clogging of the lint filter. First, if you use fabric softener sheets and basically who doesn't...just stop it. They block the lint filter screen and wreak havoc on your venting system. As usual I learned the hard way. Two days I worked on cleaning my dryer, I do all my own stuff 'cause the caliber of people you bring into your home for repairs of any kind are just awful. Finally had plugs of lint blow out of the vent. Love the fire hazard. If you don't wash, yes wash your lint filter it becomes clogged quickly and I noticed a reduction in air in the exterior vent and I was like, what the heck is going on? I ignored it until it became a problem because that's how I roll, son. I figured because I took a toothbrush to the lint filter every time I used it I was good. Not so, must be washed with fairly warm water and I scrubbed it with my toothbrush again. After washing the lint filter is when there was enough air force to move the highly flammable lint out of my aluminum vent. I have come to the conclusion that dryer sheets are a hazard to your children's safety by altering the fire retardant chemical on their clothing esp. baby clothes and posing a fire risk in the dryer. Remember manufacturers are not selling things to make your life easier, they're selling things to make money. I'm done, no more dryer sheets. They have those balls they sell but heck I'll buy some tennis balls to interrupt the ions that make static. I think that's what they are that produce static. Ions. Yeah, sounds about right. Maybe. Good luck. Don't use fabric softener sheets. I lived without them for twenty years growing up, ok so the back of my dress used to stick to my hips, I didn't see it so I thought I looked cute.

"I ignored it until it became a problem because that's how I roll" I feel it

I love the realness of this video. Reminds me of the videos we used to make as kids before cell phones. Old school! 😝

[@defytyrantsofmississippi2198]

The two metal strips that you thought were heat sinks are actually moisture sensors.

[@williamlay4498]

Yes

[@mmmmorphhhh]

Super helpful! I also took that plastic holder and the lint screen and soaked it in hot soapy water and scrubbed the holes with an old toothbrush. Good as new! Thanks for sharing

[@mollysunshine8312]

Well it was exactly what I was looking for but you totally skipped how you actually removed it. You went from removing screws to the inside part laying inside

[@shalleemornes-joanah5297]

The deep cleaning really does keep the dryer working well for much longer.

[@adamwaselich7315]

Thank you for this video... My dryer is clean again. 👍

[@darith27]

Thank you so much Dave, great video!

[@LOC0UNO]

I have problems with my dryer, is the same model, but when is blinking the signal, also sound alarm in the same time and there aren't any obstruction inside

[@alanberickson]

I have a similar setup in my dryer. Anyone else have issues with the dryer being a little dusty throughout the house? Not sure if it's an issue with the dryer or whether I need to see if there's a leak in the exhaust ducting.

[@putoluto5256]

The little thin flap that pops back up when you pull the screen does not want to pop back up anymore. I wonder if there was a spring or something that I didn't see/hear fall out and got vacuumed up. For now it is just laying down and when I pull the screen it continues to just lay there hanging down the front edge of the vent. Oh well.

[@billm9418]

It was a good video and if a person has basic ability it makes sense. The only complaint is you omitted discussing the two connectors that attach to the metal moisture sensor.

[@jennm4437]

How did you get the front piece (that sits flush up agains the dryer) and then the top inside (grate looking one that has the two screws at then bottom) back on? I can not for the life of me get the screws back up to the holes.

[@jennm4437]

Never mind. I figured it out. There is an extra hold that’s just hanging out for no reason. 😂

[@jeffreywitherell532]

Thank you !

[@andrewnaum4749]

Great video!

[@williamlay4498]

You didn't explain anything yeah I watched you but I was interested on the moisture sensor plug ins which way do they go an how can you tell

[@ChrisAsipyan]

how did you clean the lint inside that cavity? with a vac?

[@davedoesstuff9975]

I used one of those handheld Dysons. I’ll post a link to the one I used in the description.

[@mirurzun]

I did this and now i can't line up the screws for the trap again and it won't go back in 😭

[@yunuscanemre]

Thanks very much ❤

[@adrianavelazco4819]

Me quedo muy limpio el filtro, gracias

[@amandajorgensen5303]

There are two plug ins on the right side. I can’t figure out how to plug back in. How did you do that part?

[@ameliainva]

I agree!! Putting it back flush is hard. I am going to get help to properly get my assembly back together.

[@WalkWithGraceNFaith]

It should be pretty simple. The connectors just pop back onto the metal. Those are what make your moisture sensors work.

[@tipfertool5457]

So we're supposed to do this once a year? Hadn't done it once in 10 years, lol.

[@electricsmartpainting7862]

we do not c if the job he did works cause i did exactly what he did mine not work i continue look for the problem

[@gymmom9096]

I am look in mine is mine, brand new home and I am getting a D 95 error code, I took this out myself I had the new LG sensor dry smart thin Q. I took everything out and I shot backed it everything is clean but guess what keeps getting wet nothing is working I think it’s a flaw in their system

[@leahfean4937]

He used most of his time unscrewing the unit. Not much help!

[@sty46mie]

too fast too much concern about thee screw

[@elalemanloco4786]

Ugh thanks?

[@donovanthompson7864]

Ima just buy a compressor to spray it out, then vaccum suction it up

[@andyallom4357]

Don't think I want to mess with a $2500 dryer based on this!

[@freddyalfarodavilla2463]

So pay someone $$

[@bshef3424]

Biggest pia process ever... $&#$& screws

[@barrysimpson692]

Who wants to watch somebody take 10 minutes to take a cover off
