Description

This replacement dryer tube channels heated air from the dryer cabinet to the lint filter/blower and exhaust path, restoring proper airflow and helping the cycle dry clothes efficiently. Use it when the original tube is cracked, crushed, or blocked. What it does

• Directs dryer airflow from the drum/blower chamber to the lint trap and exhaust.
• Helps maintain proper venting to prevent overheating and inefficient drying.
• Reduces air leaks that can cause longer dry times or hot spots.
• Minimizes lint buildup in the cabinet by providing a smooth, routed path for debris to the lint filter.

What's included

• One dryer tube

Install notes

• Remove front or rear access panel as required to reach and replace the tube; keep fasteners for reassembly.
• Inspect adjacent seals and clamps; replace any damaged gaskets or worn clamps for a secure fit.
• Use gloves to avoid sharp sheet-metal edges and run a short test cycle to ensure proper airflow and quiet operation.
