[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 462286, member: 3419"] I took apart the dryer vent. Sloppy, wet lint everywhere. Ended up cutting it with-a scissors to get at it, since it's threaded through 3 shelves of rags and beach towels in the laundry room. Then I realized I had no way to figure out how to remove the old vent from the wall and ceiling all the way outside, and how to thread it back through, so I called a handyman. In the meantime, I bought the parts I thought I needed at the hardware store. There is a bird's nest in the outside vent! Sigh. After 2 trips to the hardware store, it's all fixed. Yay! No sign of the birds. They'll have to find another home, since I bought an outside vent with-a "bird cage" cover on it. I asked the handyman if Sears does this kind of thing or if the guy was trying to get out of it. He said, No, Sears typically just does the motors and actual dryer parts so he was being honest. husband is upset because I spent money on a handyman when he could have done this himself. Uh, yeah, in about 10 yrs ...:rollingpin: [/QUOTE]
