Description

This replacement chute directs airflow and guides laundry inside the dryer so air moves efficiently through the drum and lint trap. Replacing a damaged chute helps restore consistent airflow and reduces abnormal lint buildup. What it does:

• Channels warm air from the drum toward the lint trap and vent assembly
• Keeps clothes and lint moving correctly to prevent trapping or rubbing
• Replace if cracked, broken, warped, or if airflow is noticeably reduced
• Common symptoms: longer drying times, excess lint in the cabinet, unusual rattling or rubbing sounds

What's included:

• One chute

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Access may require removing the dryer front or top panel; follow the service manual
• Inspect surrounding seals and mounting tabs for damage and replace if needed
• Handle plastic parts carefully to avoid cracking during installation
