 Disassembly. Diagrams indicate a couple screws anchor that grill at the corners atop the filter/blower housing beneath. Use a hand mirror or phone camera or crane your head inside and look toward the front. If it's obstructed from removal via just the screws then further dissassembly is required (raising the machine's top and removing the entire front panel, whatever is involved). All dryers collect lint in the filter and airflow housing and elsewhere of the machine's interior and should be disassembled for cleaning every 2 to 5 years. Call a servicer if you're not up to DIYing it. | ||

This is why I am more partial to the Maytag HOH dryers or the older Whirlpool 29” dryers with the perforated drum back since neither really allow for any lint build up in the blower housing. Never had any issues with either the Maytag HOH dryers or the older Whirlpool 29” dryers with lint build up inside the blower/fan housing.

 I also have a Frigidaire dryer designed like that. Yes, it gets packed with lint. My GE doesn't do that. I just vacuum it out like you did a couple of times a year. I also have a long chimney brush looking thing on flexible fiberglass shafts that I put in the drill and shove up the vent pipe from outside. Amazing how much junk gets past the filter. When I got my dryer for $20, it wouldn't light. I had to disassemble it for testing and replacement of a thermal limit switch. Mine does not have a nut on either side for the screws to fit into. Mine has coarse threaded screws that feed into the plastic chute itself that goes down to the blower. Yours may be different but it looks very similar. The plastic part might have broken off. | ||
