The drywall of the wall on the opposite side from our dryer started bowing out. My husband researched how to fix it. He just happened to start the process when the dryer was in use and noticed that the wall was warm. He pulled the dryer out to investigate. The vent was completely blocked, of course, but was also loose. While he was trying to figure out how to reattach it, the entire 6 inch section came out of the wall. Long story short, he ended up taking out a panel of the Sheetrock to find that the builder hadn’t connected the dryer duct to the outside at all. They had just vented it into the space between the studs. The lint filled the space for about two feet up the wall with more bunches in various places up to where it “joined” the duct that ran through the attic to the outside vent. An inspection of the attic proved that there was lint there as well. Needless to say he cleaned out all the lint, added a proper duct and actually connected it all together. No surprise that our dryer miraculously began working more efficiently and the wall was no longer warm. This could have been a tragedy. A house in the neighborhood DID have a dryer fire that ended up burning the it down. The family had started the dryer and left. By the time neighbors were aware there was a fire, it was through the roof and blowing out windows. (I no longer put clothes in to dry and leave the house.)

Rav4 2011 4wd, keyless button starter with backup camera and GPS built in. Moms hits a pothole on front driver side says it was about a 6/7-10 scale of scary. OBII says it is a code P0705 Not a car guy. Symptom: When starting car, the digital dash shows in in park (P) with back cam showing and reverse highlighted as well , even though it is in (P). Even when driving it sometimes shows on reverse with back cam active. Auto-LSD is blinking nonestop with the Check Engine light. Sometimes - the push button is lighting green when the car is off but when pressed to start car it is no longer green. It is suppose to be the other way around I think. I checked the Neutral Switch it seems fine. I haven't taken it off yet it was a pain for me to locate. It was below the battery and I had to access it from under the car. I replugged all of the connectors. The car drives normally, nothings is amiss besides the gear and the dashboard+back cam not aligning properly. No leak, all the gears are smooth changing from PRNDL. I hope to have individuals with similar or knowledge of this problem to connect with me. My mom is the only one working and supporting the house and I want to do my part to help her to be able to do it. Thanks

Any tips on LLC names?

I appreciate you choose to lay something on the ground, Good luck with your endeavor.

How you advertise your business?

Hi Christopher, where do you buy your replacement parts?

Love this! So very satisfying

Where do you go for tech support ?

I went to ABC as well in Feb 2020. I was in the 1st class in the new facility.

ABC Alumni myself.. Fayetteville NC.. Glad to have run across your video..

did you feel like you were prepared coming out of boot camp? I am very handy but apprehensive about jumping out there because i have never done appliances. I've beed doing handyman work for many years but never appliances and want to go full time. any thoughts?

It might be wise to be a bit more gentle with this type of rod. They can break off inside the tube. You sure don't want that to happen.

I have a 2001 sienna,this looks to be the same engine,,Im having problems ,back up lights not working,bulbs new and fuse is good , Ive heard the neutral safety switch takes the place of a back up light switch and could be my problem,but no check engine light,,please tell your view on this, on the other hand it does start in park and neutral so thats all working

Haci no se hace ese trabajo

Thanks for the video! I’m looking to find an online course to take currently. Does appliance bootcamp offer an online course? I couldn’t find it on their site.

Thanx man! I took the ABC BOOTCAMP ONLINE AND IM IN THE PROCESS ID SEEKING OUT 3P warranty companies! I have very little experience Repairing appliances but I’m about to go all in while I work this full time job! I’ll do some Appliances on weekend and nights cuz I want to quit this job and go full time! Your story was inspiring and I will continue to follow

Is it true that this part also serves to light up the reverse lights? My bulbs are good and no blown fuses.

Bro. I got one for my Camry on Amazon for $40. I said hell no to $260 for that small ass part.

Just wondering would it be about as easy to take the vent out and clean it ?

My arm (2:20 the part you took off the shaft) that goes on the control shaft seems to be stuck on with rust and gunk, any idea on how to get it off without breaking the shaft?

What is that thing called love to get 1 so I can clean mine Love the videos thank you for the information

Gross but oddly satisfying to watch it get cleaned. 🙈

Bet the dryer works better

Homeowner is lucky their home didn't burn down due to this

I really like using the sight sticks here. But I prefer to use the air hose with the ball of holes at the end.by god man that was a fire waiting to happen. U saved a life. Maybe I'll do both methods.

I purchased one of these kits and used it to clean my dryer vent for the first time in 15 years. I didn’t hardly get any lint. Used a flashlight to look in and it’s clean. I always clean the dryer lint trap in the dryer after every load.

This is why you as a homeowner should take the bit of extra time to install rigid pvc. Don't be the lazy ass who installs the weak flexible duct. You can actually clean the pvc without tearing it apart.

I use that link to make firestarters

I cleaned out the dryer vents when we moved into this house about three years ago because the dryer was taking forever to dry. The brush kept catching on something, so I changed to the metal reamer attachment, then found a squirrel nest and another dryer vent brush stuck way up in there. No wonder it was getting clogged and not drying!

This is what is wrong with my dryer right now I asked To Rooter to do that I was told they can't I live by myself an I'm disabled I have lived in my house for 25 years my dryer I had to get a apartment dryer box you add water to so my dryer will work

Would suggest having a blower or the dryer on so that it pushes the loose debris out while the brush is running.

As a gas technician if that’s a gas dryer you’re lucky to be alive clean the lint shield every load that wasn’t happening hear

Fire the camera person.

Wow, dryer vent, really. Good job!

What tool and where do we get it, please. I cleaned my bubby's dryer vent out with a leaf blower and it helped tremendously. Blew it out from inside to put, but I don't think it was this long of a run I searched for this kind of tool, but HF & HD were out of stock of anything similar..

How many years of lint is that?

Not very good camera work

Why would you have that dryer vent so low to the ground?

You would be Amazed at how many homes have the dryer vent right next to the A/C unit. I have Never seen so much lint trapped in a pipe before. A Lot of homes have them vent Under the house. That pile at the end of the video is what it looks like underneath the house in those cases.

Just use a leaf blower,and quit playing around.

So that's where all my clothes went!

Are they just feeding the vent this crap from the other side ?

Nice quality drill

I was waiting for him to drag a Chinaman out of there ! 😑 🙏

Not real because that would have been caught on fire by now

PSG

There wasn’t anything wrong with the old dryer, it was just a clogged duct. I use the same dryer cleaning kit for mine.
