I can only get at my GE back vent by removing the screw holding the back vent in place. The is no additional steel assembly surrounding the back vent hole to give me extra room to work. If I knock out the right side vent cap(the side I want to vent from), it may give me extra working space. How do I remove the right side knock out? Do I simply use a hammer and some sort of chisel and knock it in, or is there more to it?
I’m so confused. Maybe I have to watch a few times. But I have to figure it out. Mine vents out the back and I don’t understand why they put the hole so far up unless they used the side vent. I can’t afford the kit!
I don’t think there is a set measure. In my case I was about a foot. It really depends on your situation. You can connect flexible duct to the sleeve to expand it. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching 👊🏼
Very valid comment. If I had room to tape I would have certainly done so as an added security. It is only one joint though and it’s located right past the secured elbow duct, so I am hoping with the snug fit of the elbow and extension piece that it will stay put. Also, the venting force isn’t as high as that of an HVAC system. I also got my washer and dryer on wheels, so it wouldn’t be too hard to get back there once in a while to check on things. Very valid point though. Thanks for watching 👊🏽
You can attach and tape the elbow to the exit duct, then put it in.
Sure you can, if you have space for it and don’t mind the look.

Yep, just knock it out.

Are you having difficulty connecting the duct inside the dryer? Not sure I understand.
You can't afford the kit? Stop
To clarify, is the elbow the only thing that you needed to purchase?
I used an elbow and a 4” extension piece.
How far from the wall is the stackable unit once complet?

FYI Those with the LG gas dryer (mine is DLG3601, it ONLY vents out the right side....
They must be different model to model? Mine vents out either side as well as bottom! Thanks for watching 👊🏼
@@TrueGritDevelopmentyes one video mentioned that only electric dryers vent out the left side. Idk why
I’m about to cut out a new hole in my wall 🤦♀️ either way it’s about the same amount of work 😮💨
You prob right! Good luck.
you didnt tape the sections together - once air is past thru vent it will start to come apart
