a trick: you can watch series at kaldrostream. Been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Kylen Brock yup, been watching on kaldrostream for months myself :D
Your comment, "I did this already, so I'm not going to show you," was exactly what I was looking for. I can't get this nut out. What kind of a tool did you use to get that nut out? I was so hopeful when I saw your video, but you skipped over exactly the part of it I was looking for. I hope you see this comment and can reply. Thanks very much.
Came here to say the same thing. How do I get this bolt off?! 😅
@@kedarjoyner2861 I wrote to Speed Queen and asked them. They told me to use a 5/16" nut driver. I got the tool at ACE Hardware (Craftsman). It's a thin nut driver. I went to other hardware stores, but the help didn't tell me the right thing. The guy at ACE knew what I was talking about.
@@franklinw2485 So what size socket did you use to remove the screw?
@@franklinw2485 You got that screw out with a 5/16" nut driver?
@@clevelandbrowns3325 It was called a thin 5/16" nut driver.
I agree the shortest length exhaust tubing; preferably solid and not flexible as shown. Simply removing the cover for lint on the floor is inadequate you need to see inside the filter housing and follow through to the exhaust. No dig just some additional advice for those.
After you remove the bottom front access panel, by removing the 2 5/16" screws, you can easily remove the air duct assembly, the part that holds the lint filter, by removing 3 #1 phillips head screw that can be seen in the cabinet just below where the lint filter would seat. The 3 screws are one in the center and 1 at each extreme. After removing with the dryer experience you have , you will know what to clean of lint. Do you know of a way to get to the heating element in case it might need replacing? Thanks for your informative video.
Do what we did. Experiment. Sorry I didn't specify the exact tools across the board. We just tinker until we get it right. Pays to have a good selection of tools.
What is the purpose of the screw
Vertical dryer lint vent tube is a fire hazard. It is not a good idea to say the least! In some states insurance companies won't cover you in the event of a fire. Get a dryer lint box and clean in out after every cycle.
My dryer done this once before and we cleaned the lint and replaced the bulb but he did something to line the racks up in the dryer and manually turned the drum and it lined it self up but I don't remember which way i turned to get them lined up
Very helpful, thanks!
Yeah good to do annually. That lint is so flammable!
What if there is a link problem? Do I just start guessing at things to pull apart???
How do you get that screw out on the lint thing? What do you use to get it off?
I used a standard screwdriver
@@NJroute22 That won't work on mine. It's a very weird-looking screw. Like a hex top but with zero depth; it'll need some sort of gripping tool, I think, because it's so inset. Guess I need to keep looking for another video!
@HelenBackAgain did you resolve how to remove that bolt I tried a flat head but it doesn't grip and twist the bolt 😐
@@Towelie4200 it needs a ratchet attached to a screw Driver. My brother-in-law did it for me.
Went to all that trouble to make this video yet didn’t cover how you removed the odd screw bolt. It can NOT be removed with a reg screwdriver as you replied.
What's the best way to clean the screen on the back, top-left? Mine gets "gunky" and needs cleaning about once a year
Not sure - that seems to be a tough one. Maybe taking the back panel off? Either way - it shouldn't get gunky. What kind of detergents are you using? Are you washing greasy things in your washing machine?
@@NJroute22 Thank you for the reply!
About once a year, I take it off and clean it with a drill and a wire brush, and it's been happening since the machine is new and as it's my first gas dryer, I though it was normal...
We use Arm&Hammer HE liquid detergent and HE Downy. Maybe we are using too much of it? Or we should try different brands? Or maybe should I try painting the panel with high temperature paint?
We are washing regular "adult" clothes, (nothing greasy nor soiled).
...by the way, subbed for the quality of your information and simplicity of your videos!
I have the same kind of dryer that's in the video
HOW? How did you unscrew the lint screen‽ it's not a phillios; it's not a flathead, and it doesn't fit an Allan wrench!
Not sure - maybe they changed the screws? Try Torx perhaps?
HOW do you check the belt tension and how do you remove the drum ???
We didn't delve into advanced dryer repair or maintenance. I suspect that since we use it like 4x a day - that we will need to address that problem sooner rather than later.
What tool and size do I use to get the screw out of the filter?
You use a nut-driver. I cannot recall the exact size - maybe 1/4" or 3/8". You can buy multi-size packs for pretty cheap at places at walmart (usually under $10).
Thank you
@@NJroute22 if you are going to do a video on how to clean the dryer, this would be IMPORTANT INFO :(
@@rkymtngal 🤣 everyone wants to be spoonfed
Yes most definitely I'm disabled and I can go to a laundry mat
do NOT pry off the front under the lid!
Not sure we did that.
Yes, I was going to add the same comment to save someone from damaging their unit. The larger front panel swings out from the bottom, allowing the clips on the top of the front panel to release from the top of the dryer.
@@LRMattG Thank you. That's very important information, as I am cleaning out our dryer now. It's an unnecessary jigsaw puzzle. They make it more difficult than it needs to be. They want you to call a repairman....or buy a new one.
