How to Remove Dryer Lint With a Kit
- 1). Unplug electric dryers. Remove the lint screen. Slide the appliance away from the wall until you can access the joint where the vent hose attaches to the rear dryer vent.
- 2). Loosen the clamp or collar holding the vent hose on with a screwdriver. Disconnect the vent hose from the rear dryer vent.
- 3). Insert the brush with narrower bristles into the opening where you removed the lint screen.Twist the brush inside the trap and lift out the lint. Continue until the brush comes out without any lint.
- 4). Connect the specialized lint removal hose attachment to the end of a vacuum hose nozzle. Lower the hose into the lint trap where you removed the screen. Turn on the vacuum and move the hose up and down to suck out the remaining lint.
- 5). Slide the round bristle brush into the rear vent open opening as far as it will go. Twist the brush as you slowly pull it out. Repeat this process until the brush comes out clean.
- 6). Push the round bristled brush into the detached vent hose as far as it will go. Twist the brush as you slowly pull it out. Repeat the process until the brush comes out clean.
- 7). Remove the hose attachment from the lint removal kit. Vacuum the lint from the screen and all the brushes. Reinstall the lint screen.
- 8). Reattach the vent hose and rear dryer vent. Tighten any clamps or collars that were in place.
