Description
This replacement air duct routes exhaust air from the dryer blower to the vent outlet, helping restore proper airflow and reduce heat buildup. Use this genuine-style duct when the original is cracked, warped, or leaking. What it does:
- Channels exhaust air from the blower assembly to the vent outlet for efficient drying
- Replaces damaged, cracked, or distorted ducts that cause leaks or reduced airflow
- Helps address symptoms such as poor airflow, longer dry times, or unusual noises from the dryer
- Restores a sealed airflow path to reduce internal heat accumulation
What's included: One air duct. Install notes:
- Disconnect power (and gas supply, if applicable) before beginning any repair
- Follow the dryer service manual for panel removal and reassembly; keep screws and fasteners organized
- Inspect adjacent seals and gaskets and replace if worn to ensure a proper fit
- Handle plastic duct parts carefully to avoid cracking; ensure clearance so the duct is not pinched during reassembly
