I’ve used your video twice now. The entire job now takes me about an hour, once a year. It’s a quick, early winter job. You’ve save me the cost of having a repair person come out to do it. Thank you!
Glad to hear!
What a terrific video! Thank you for the clear and concise instructions on how to take apart the dryer and get to all the hidden lint. I've spent years feeling concerned about the lint I suspected was lingering in all the nooks and crannies, and I felt frustrated that I couldn't reach all the areas where lint might be collecting. It took us just over an hour to get the job done, and now I have peace of mind!
Great video. Really helped me. The lint buildup was my issue for sure. If you own this dryer, this is how you do it. Pro tip so everyone can learn from my mistakes: if you’re going to take the door off, make sure you put it back on before you assemble the dryer. Took me 45 minutes to get it back on with the dryer assembled, and it was a righteous pain in the ass.
Thank you so much I've used your video twice. I live rural lots of dirt lots of animals and hair and lint. You've saved my house
Thank you so much! You saved us a ton of money on a repair man! My granddaughter stuck a Lego down in our lint trap and when I turned it on it made a horrible noise. My husband was going to get someone to fix it but I suspected she had stuck something down in there so I found your video and we were able to get it out ourselves. Gotta love UA-cam!
Awesome! Thank you for writing!
I was so glad to find this on UA-cam. I feel like I got lucky to find it. Everyone else just doesn't have the right dryer or doesn't take the front off to clean down through where the lint goes. Thank you for making this and making it so easy to understand, it's greatly appreciated.
Thank You for posting this! I’m absolutely positive lint is my issue with my dryer. I knew I’d have to take it apart but had no clue where to start. This was super informative and helpful. Thanks again!
I came across your video last night and did the work today. Took about 1 hour and your step by step was instrumental! Thank you very much for taking time to post this video!!!
I’ve been trying to find a video for my dryer! I used to pull apart my old dryer and clean her out. Now I’ve got one of these ones and I’d love to clean it without paying someone. Thank you sir for taking the time to share! Very much appreciated!
Thank you. I found your tutorial very helpful and easy to follow. I successfully did it even though my dryer is slightly different. The grey part that is the actual housing of the lint filter is 2 pieces. Also my dryer had 3 bundles of wires that I had to unplug. The big one was a challenge. You have gained a faithful follower. I am going to make a TikTok with the steps you so generously shared, I will credit you channel. Again, thank you so much for helping to make me successful in doing this task. I live very, very far from town and finding a repairman to come out and do this is very cost prohibitive.
You saved my ass with this. For the life of me I could not figure out why our dryer wasn’t drying and your video was informative, easy to follow and an absolute lifesaver. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏
I was in a pinch and your video was a big help!! Only “problem” was that your video wouldn’t enlarge to get a better view but thank you!! Very helpful
You'd think this annual cleaning maintenance would be in the manual. Glad you posted this. Probably saved me from breaking it open
Thank you! I've taken apart a Samsung dryer at our house but we have this Hotpoint/GE at a rental house. Although assembly looked similar, disassembly was very different. Apparently our tenants didn't ever clean the lint filter! Your video was super helpful and I disassembled and heavily cleaned it, back together and works. Took about two hours total. Thanks again!
I'm on my third attempt of cleaning that dang spot under the filter itself! Thanks so much for this video! Only one I've seen with my exact dryer/filter!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! This helped myself (f) and my neighbor (f) fix her dryer in about 15min!!!! Thank you sooo much!! Saved her a huge bill I’m sure!!
Perfect! All the info I needed to do a deep cleaning. I had 3 plugs to disconnect but otherwise the same setup. Thank you!
Thank you because I never would have tackled ours without your video to guide me! I gotta tell ya though we are buying a different dryer that's easier to access inside to clean it. With 2 dogs it builds up fast. Again thank you!!
This is the exact dryer I am working with. You are a blessing.
Thanks man, I was wondering how to remove it. I totally had missed the ones on the top of the door.
Thank you!!! I have the same dryer and the same issue! My dryer is less than 6 months old and the lint buildup is ridiculous
Your editing was great man, very little wasted time on the video. Very much appreciated!!!
This is exactly my dryer and with all the same problems. While I've been looking up how to remove excess lint because I've had this problem before and Really paid to have it cleaned out, thank you. Mostly for how to put it back together lol. I'm going to try it.
Still not above calling a professional if I feel like it's too much or unsafe for me 🤷🏽♀️
What a pain! Can't believe they can't make these things more user friendly. Thank you for your video! Great job!
Thanks! Only video I could find to walk me step by step. Was able to do it all by myself 😊 and clear the debris (tiny plastic particles and lint build up) from inside.
Glad it helped you Rachal! Thanks for the comment and I plan to do more videos and 😂 lives real soon. Hope you subscribed. Really looking forward to growing the community.🎉
thank you for this video! i accidentally left a ring in the pocket of my jeans and almost had a heart attack when i noticed it missing. i’m happy i decided to check in the dryer, and it was nice to clean out all that gunk too!
Glad you found the ring.
This is exactly what is happening to my dryer after 6 months! Terrible design.
That's for sure
@@karlholiday dryers should be designed for easy access cleaning. Kinda of a no brainer right?
@@jacquelineg3987 exactly! I think they are designed to break down and be repurchased 😆
Well I'm sure there a few good and even more sons and daughters of us mothers who will get things a little more simple lol
I agree 💯
This was exactly the video I needed to get that grey honeycomb part off. Thank you!!
Thanks very much for posting this. I have this exact model and needed to see the basic disassemble. So much fun!
Glad it helped!
Great video! I wonder if you've tried using a narrow and flexible vacuum cleaner attachment to clean out the area under the lint filter? I made one for my wife and she uses it frequently to keep that area lint-free.
I need to do this… I was following you for a little bit and after 1 million screws all I can think of is I will never get that back together lol
Thanks for going to the trouble, but please turn your phone on its side to give a bigger, better picture in “landscape” mode.
You really need someone to hold the camera for you. And use landscape mode, I can’t tell shit
I totally agree!!!!👍
wow,
Thank you for making this!! Our dryer is doing the same thing and it smells like burnt lint 😭
Thank you so much for sharing this!! It was incredibly helpful and very straightforward
Glad it was helpful!
very good video! well explained and easy to follow. i got enough lint and dog hair out of there to make a rug. Thanks!!
Glad it helped! 😂
Perfect, even for the side door . Thanks.
Thanks boss, this video was very helpful 👍🏼
I had the same issue with the filter bouncing and it was causing the door to not stay shut while in operation. So once I cleaned everything out it works fine now.
Mine needs another cleaning, cuz the door be bouncing against off all the LINT😭
Thank you, this really helped me.
Great video man, if i was you id go through and block all the trolls!!! lol Thanks again
Thank you very much. You saved my family a good chunk of money 😊
Awesome!
Thanks for the video... and hope to see you sooon hooo hoo hoo hooo lol. Subscribed
Dude your awesome. Followed the video and got the dryer clean and working great !!
Glad it helped dude! Thanks for the encouraging message. I actually have some ideas for the channel and vids in the upcoming months. Take care.
Thanks so much! I'm going to do this! You saved me!
This is awesome! I just bought this dryer(gas version) off of facebook marketplace and it had all sorts of lint and nastiness in it. What can you expect for $80? This video showed me exactly what to do and to that I say a big "Thank-you!".
Glad to hear it helped you! 👍
I’m doing this now, did you shut off the gas first? I don’t want to mess w the gas lines so I don’t want to if I don’t have to 😭 I’m a scaredy cat to gas lines
I’m glad that I found this video! Very helpful!! Thanks a lot
You're welcome!
thanks you have the exact dryer that I do, and exactly what I was looking for
Amazing video and had my confidence built up to do this but I can’t do the last part with the wire connection. At 3:03 I can’t get that connection apart. 😢
I’m going to be doing this as well. Other videos show that you can swing the door without unplugging it once you remove from the slots. Not sure but maybe you can try that. It’s crazy that lint gets trapped UNDER lint screen!🤦🏻♀️ they just want you to pay technician to do it.
@@janetortiz4861 good luck to you. This wasn’t difficult and I got everything apart eventually. Turns out my issue was in the wall where the dryer exhaust goes. So my dryer is nice and clean, but it didn’t improve drying efficiency.
Sorry to hear that! You probably did but, just a suggestion….Did you check the outside vent? Mine wasclogged once long time ago. That did the trick with mine.
@@janetortiz4861 I can’t seem to find the outside vent. Neither can my landlord. She’s gonna talk to the neighbors. I’m technically connected to another house on the corner. So I’ve seen the rooftop type and know that the vent isn’t supposed to be more than 25ft, but still have to investigate. When I reached as far as I could into the wall where the dryer sits, I pulled out some damp lint. Might try the electric blower trick today. Just hope it doesn’t spread the lint all over the neighbors side of the property 🙏😂😭
Great video. Totally to the point!
Thank you!😊
I live in an apartment and hav this dryer and it is for sure needing cleaning. I was just gointo clean it myself but dang thats alot for just to get to a filter cover
I can’t figure out how to unclip the wire. Mine does not come off easily like yours does! Is there a trick to it? I noticed mine is covered by a big plastic piece too but it looks like yours is broken off.
Mine too!! I keep pulling and tugging and that thing won’t come off! I even feel like breaking off that plastic thing covering it
Thank you so much! Did it all step by step. Good as new!!!!
Glad it helped!
Good job man it was very helpful!
Just did mine thank you for posting
Thanks fixed my issue!!!
Took me about an hour. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for this. Exactly what I needed!
It’d be cool if they made it easy to remove just the gray piece.
Which model do you have? I have the hotpoint 6.2 cu. ft. capacity aluminized alloy electric which is htx24easkws. I don’t see that switch on the inside of mine to take the vent panel off
I'm at the laundry mat now bc my dryer spins but does not dry my clothes..I didn't know we suppose to change the lint thing..and I haven't in two years..no wonder 🤔🧐
I've gotten down to the door wire & I can't figure out how to unclip it, please help.. you made it look so easy
Same here. I can’t pull that wire out. Mine has a plastic piece in front of it but it looks like his is ripped off.
@@momifestyourdreams yes, I never unclipped for fear of damaging the wires so I just cleaned around it even propping the door to get deeper in the machine it was tough but I got the same results as if I took the door out
Same here. I have extra wires and a plastic piece, so I can't unclip the wire like he did. I just cleaned as most as I could
This video helped me a ton, thanks for posting! I think you might have edited out mentioning the two front screws that are holding the top panel, but didn't take too long to find them.
Tu as sauvé ma vie merci!!!
Help! Can the vent part be popped open after unscrewing the two in the front by the door without removing the top and control panel?
An excellent video. Thanks!
So I got a tear apart my entire dryer just to clean that lint what is a small suction hose do the job just as well
Good video as far as it goes, but it didnt look like he actually cleaned all that thoroughly. I saw many clumps of lint left in corners that I would have gotten with a finer brush, plus a disinfecting soap, water and ammonia... used carefully so as not to wet electrical parts.
Also, I was hoping to see how to take off or open up the entire housing so I could vac and wipe the whole interior of the housing. ..all arpund the outside of the drum.
I was given a used dryer and a large amount of lint was falling out of it as it was brought in.
Well, I guess Ill just keep unscrewing screws and unplugging connections until the whole housing is removed. Then brush, shop vac, and scrub with detergent and water, enhanced with some ammonia ( best grease cutter, bacteria-buster ).
Thank you mister
Absolutely!
Thanks for sharing very helpful video
Just what I needed I got mine done in under an hour
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart ❤
WTH. Back then I bet you had to call ge tech to come fix clog lint.. why am I reverse engineering this to dry my clothes again?
But ty for your video, 2 cut thumbs up.
great introduction
Outstanding tutorial
❤
I appreciate the info BUT why tf would you record in portrait mode and then upload in landscape? 🤨
What is the model number of the lint filter? Your filter looks similar to mine but I don't have the model number and I am unable to move the unit. Thanks!
Thanks for this video.
You are welcome!! Ty for watching and the comment!
Maybe I missed it, but is this for the GE GTX22eask0WW dryer. I was trying to clean out the lint trap in my daughters (student college apartment) and the Lint trap didn't really come off like mine does (I have LG front loader) so I'm not sure if it was all cleaned out. This looks like hers, just want to make sure before I try tearing it apart when I head there again.... lol. You would think the management would do that bc it seems like a fire hazard. Anyway great video thank you!
Yea I can't make much of ur video..too close up
Omg. Thank you!
Thanks for this helpful video
I have a media 7.5 dryer the clean lint light came on do I just remove the lint guard and vacuum down inside will that remedy my isdue
Is it supposed to be done once a year? This looks like a lot of work omg
How do I get behind the metal vents in the back of the drum? I have lots of dust build up blowing dust on my clothes everytime.
Boy a lot just to get at the screen
That's fo sho!!
But hoiw to fix the filter to avoir the lint to go throw? Add a foamy seul or something like at the bottom of the screen?
I’m just not sure why you had to take the control panel off?
Why don’t you install your vent straight to the outside of your house? That’s the reason why it clogged up, because of the vertical vent
I took a hand vacuum with a small attachment and vacuumed it out without taking the whole unit apart.
For the life of me I cannot get the grey panel off from the door. The right side is coming off fine but the left side is barely moving. I’m also struggling to get it to go back on so I need to just fully take it off
my filter looks like this. I tried to clean with a feather duster that went down pretty far. When I went to pull up I hit something . Now I have this piece of silver metal and my filter will not go back in dryer. I called Maytag and they could not help me and said I need a tech to come out. I have called 3 places and know one can come out till New Years. I wish I could send you a picture of the piece of meTAL. Now I took an item and tried to push the piece of metal down and filter still will not go in.
Is there a trick to the lid? Mine will not just pop off
Not sure, did you ever get yours to pop off?
My model had screws holding down the top in the front. I got them out by opening the door and getting them out from the underneath the top of the door frame.
Holy smokes!!! My 10 year old dryer has two screws on the filter cover.
Thanks for video but upon reassembly I cannot get unit to run. My guess is the wire connection is now bad but not sure on this. Could it be anything else? Thanks in advance
Make sure the door is closing all the way or it will not start. I was having the same issue with filter bouncing and it was causing the door to not stay shut and locking properly during operation.
Hi did you get that figured out? I'm having the same problem after reassembly
I CANT PUT MINES BACK TOGETHER ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😢😢😢😢😢The top part of the gray trap detach. Therefore the bottom won’t stay
I noticed there is a screw that you need to tighten at 8:04! :)
Thanks. I think that would be my neck bolt you are referring to. ;)
Why didn't you clean the back the inside the back of the drum, the Chrome thing in the in the back of the drum
It's aggravating that they make it so complicated to access it
You didnt even take the back inner silver panel off…right? Did i miss something? as someone who looked this up after cleaning their dryer, i can confirm THATS where the lint is
