Collapsed Dryer Vent

Posted by PFloyd on October 12, 2009, 3:37 pm

I looked through my dryers exit vent from the outside and saw no
connection to it. All I saw was a water pipe. How would I be able to
re-connect my vent?

I'd start at the back of the dryer and find out where the other end of
the ductwork (flexible or rigid) is currently going.

Maybe you could provide a little more detail about how the ductwork is
laid out inside the house. Are you not able to see the vent from the
inside?

I'm just thinkin' out loud here, sort of off the top of my head--- I wonder
if it might be a good idea to reconnect it where it pulled off or apart, ya'
know...

From the inside. What do you see when you look at it from the inside
of the house?

check entire line for clogs, sometimes the line clogs and pressure
blows it apart
