Ok, been while since I cleaned out the dryer vent/blower fan area. I’m lucky and my dryer vent has short exit out wall behind dryer. Plus I got short aluminum flex duct connection straight through which helps with air flow out more or less little over foot and half to outside. Once I got the top and front off not that bad being I done it maybe year ago? Cleaned out fan/blower area duct leading to it and inside dryer vent exit area. Took about 25 mins.

After I got all together I check air flow at outside wall exit Flaps, 1200 and some feet per minute air flow with my mini anemometer. This was pretty easy, my model GE two screws in top panel and two screws in front panel.

Same process for a gas dryer, LOL. I have the chimney pipe going up through the roof that will need cleaned by a professional. I do not think I can DIY.

When I moved to Florida, I laughed at the ads offering dryer vent clean-out,
because my vent goes through the wall less than a foot.

Then my neighbors told me their vents run through the exterior wall and out the roof.
Now I see the need for this service.
