[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 461383, member: 2211"] [SIZE=2][COLOR=#008080]I think that repair persons do not want to do this part of the job because of several reasons, some legitimate and some not. First of all, it can be a dirty job and time consuming and they just can't be bothered. However, it may also be because if something goes wrong and a fire ensues after they've left, they may be held liable and they do not want to be held liable for something that can happen to anyone at anytime in any house. At my house? These are the jobs I usually tackle. I have taken the vent tubing out, vacuumed in there, and then replaced the tubing. I've bought an entire new vent hose and then taped it back on. I am the one who pulls out the fridge and takes off the bottom piece to vacuum in there also. H just doesn't think about these simple little things that help extend the life of our appliances and prevent small house fires.
