ri702bill 11,385 #1 Posted 6 hours ago (edited) We take our gas dryer down off the pedestal it shares with the washer once a year to remove the back, front & drum to give it and the vent hose a through cleaning. It is a PITA to grab it from the rear, so I added a pair of Garage Door Handles. Truss head screws, Thick fender washers & nylock nuts. Much better...

The "word on the street" is that newer Kenmore dryers were cost reduced where the thermal fuse is now inside the plenum and non-serviceable for singular replacement. You now need to drop a pair or Bemjamins for the whole plenum assembly - did i mention it is also not a take-apart design to allow cleaning anymore..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
