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!

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!

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 KZread!

Awesome! Thank you for writing!

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 was so glad to find this on KZread. 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 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!!

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’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'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!

This is the exact dryer I am working with. You are a blessing.

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 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.

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!!

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

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!

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 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!

Your editing was great man, very little wasted time on the video. Very much appreciated!!!

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.

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 🤷🏽‍♀️

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

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

What a pain! Can't believe they can't make these things more user friendly. Thank you for your video! Great job!

Thanks man, I was wondering how to remove it. I totally had missed the ones on the top of the door.

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.

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.

thanks you have the exact dryer that I do, and exactly what I was looking for

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

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 🤔🧐

Tu as sauvé ma vie merci!!!

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

Is it supposed to be done once a year? This looks like a lot of work omg

Thank you for this. Exactly what I needed!

It’d be cool if they made it easy to remove just the gray piece.

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.

Thanks for sharing very helpful video

Just did mine thank you for posting

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 ).

An excellent video. Thanks!

I appreciate the info BUT why tf would you record in portrait mode and then upload in landscape? 🤨

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.

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!

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?

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.

Landscape, must use landscape not portrait. But otherwise good video. but i couldn't watch was difficult to see where he was in portrait, went to another video. Just trying to help.

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.

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

Still can’t get our front piece of the dryer off…!😢

Holy smokes!!! My 10 year old dryer has two screws on the filter cover.

It's aggravating that they make it so complicated to access it

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.

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

Appreciate the video but there has to be a way to easily clean the lint out without having to take apart the whole dryer.

This is the dryer and video I need however your video footage is so close up I cannot see all that you did....
