This vent flapper is the exterior exhaust flap that opens to let dryer air and lint exit and closes to keep weather, pests and drafts out when the dryer is off. It restores proper airflow at the outside vent hood. What it does:

• Opens with dryer airflow to allow exhaust to escape and closes when idle to block outside air.
• Helps prevent backdrafts, pests and rain from entering the vent system.
• Can restore normal drying performance when a stuck or broken flap was restricting airflow.
• Commonly replaced when the flap is cracked, warped, jammed or does not seal.

• One vent flapper/exterior exhaust flap.

• Disconnect power to the dryer (and gas supply if applicable) and work from the outside hood when possible.
• Remove the exterior vent hood or access cover to inspect and replace the flap; basic hand tools required.
• Check that the flap moves freely after installation and seats against its seal to prevent air leaks.
• Clean or repair the ductwork to avoid repeat failures.

• Restores secure fit where a screw has been lost or damaged
• Matches the OEM fit so adjoining parts align correctly

• One replacement screw as pictured

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
