If it is only a matter of reach, there is an extension kit that can be added to the base brush kit to make it reach a lot further. If it is a matter of being impacted with packed lint that needs to be dislodged, I would suggest running the dryer on air dry (no heat) and approaching from the exit end outside the house so that you have the brush trying to pull and dislodge the lint while the dryer blower is pushing. The downstream end of the blockage should be more easily penetrated by the brush since it has been protected from the additional buildup of lint. The brush does tend to feed itself into the blockage when drill is in forward mode since the bristles are in a screw pattern. Also, you only need enough length to reach half way through your vent pipe, if you can work from both ends. The rods will turn corners that are wider than 90 degrees in the vent pipe just fine. If nothing else, you should find out where the blockage is located in the pipe so you know where to tear in if the lint will not dislodge. Good luck.

Do you have access from the outside? If so, start there with the dryer running. You'll get a face full of lint, but go slowly, and pull the brush out every 5 feet or so to clear the lint.. If you start from the dryer side, without airflow on a run that long and dirty, you may make a lint plug without air flow.Duct tape the shaft joints together, and remember the directions to only go clockwise with the drill! No forcing anything either!Buy the extensions you need to cover the distances you have measured from the outside and the inside to the 90 degree elbow it sounds like you do not have access to.

I had this problem. Most likely, you put the wrong washers in the different parts of the hook up. Switch the washer in the bottom parts around. They may be backwards as well.

is it still under warranty? did you send in the registration postcard? contact the company. if it's relatively new, i'm sure amazon will help with a replacement dryer.

I ordered it because of what happened to my boots. When it arrived a few days later I removed everything that was removable from the inside of my boots. I put the dryer to the warmest setting and ran it thru 2 complete cycles before it was completely dry.

Mine lays flat. Any position is fine (as long as your dryer is electric and not gas). It has saved me lots of $$ since installing it.

I have a fridgidaire dryer and it worked fin in that. I would suggest getting a fuse too. I blew mine after I replaced the coil. It's cheap and easy as well, but you might as well do them at the same time.

The dryer would be better hung. It is not heavy enough if you give the hose a tug.

Yes, I tried it under my stove and it worked. I do wish that I had gotten the longer one. I mainly use it toclean the lint in my clothes dryer and under the dryer.

I don't have any experience with a front load machine. Mine is a HE top loader. The package instructions say to toss the Unstopables directly into the washer with the clothes. That's what I do. No problems for me.

Its very easy, you must unscrew the panel main dryer dash panel from behind the dryer, remove the screws,and and pull out the board and remove cables and screws which the control board is attached to. Replace with the new board and re-attach harness cables and screw back. Make sure you have the dryer unplugged, or else you will short the board. Very very simple.

Not sure.....I did not have a static/frizz problem before using this dryer.

Well one problem is that hangers with any hook on the inside hits the bars, so most hangars won't work. If you do get the right hangers, then it would work sitting on the dryer.... But will move or slip around. Maybe you can get a magnet to hold it in place.

Sent my dryer back. It worked fine, but my wife wanted more air flow. But best I recall, it was either 8' or 10' long. Not your typically short 5-6' cord.

I've had this problem too. I think it might have more to do with your dryer. Are you leaving your clothes in the dryer for a long time before removing them?

I found it really difficult to use on my dryer with the same type of front lint screen, but my dryer is stacked on top of the washer so it may just be that it is too high for me to get in to. If your dryer is lower where you can see what you're doing it might be better, but the handle is long so it will probably be akward -- you keep hitting the front of the outside of the dryer and can't really maneuver the brush into all the nooks and crannies.

There's at least 3 inches between the dowels. If you take your time as you hang the clothes and make sure they're hanging down in a straight line and not draping all over each other, they dry quickly. I'm able to fill every dowel which usually means an entire wash load! With electricity rates increasing 37% this year, my drying rack is a huge help and necessity!!
