Change dryer vent from side to rear

Get a dryer vent kit. Remove straight vent tube, knock out access on left side. Install new kit. Generally you need to take dryer apert to install but on some can be done thru vent holes in unit.

there is usually a pc that can be removed on the side a round plate with light soder

Some Kenmore dryers have a knockout at the back, lower corner that can be "knocked out". If you have one of these it can be vented out through the side. If the knockout is there, a kit is available for the venting. Just go to www.sears.com and under the parts direct tab enter your model number aka 000.00000, and search out the kit.

inspect the dryer sides,and see if there is a knockout to remov to allow side venting,some dryers are not side ventable,if the knockouts are there, you may need a kit from maytag specifically for that model...the installation instructions may be helpful if you have them,could provide kit no.,and the how to instruct.

why don't you just go to home depot and buy a longer flex hose?mike

Enter the model number of your dryer and look for it in the diagram. You should be able to go where you bought it also. Good luck.

Yes ,a vent kit can be fitted, and is fitted to the rear of the dryer at the right hand side.
If you buy the genuine Hotpoint kit, it comes complete with all extra fittings.

yes and here is the part kit that you need..part # 279818..onthejob..everthing you need is in this kit..it all comes together..

you would need to "punch out the metal" , youl also need to remove the fron tof the unit(2 screws approx 3-4 inches down form inner panel, holding front panel on, ( youll need to remove the top of the dryer( a few screws across the back of unit.) andthen disconnect the dryer belt(easiest acess through a small acess panel on lower rear of unit, pull the dryer drum out and youl see the existing ve, just a matter of attaching a 90degree elbow and running vent out the side instead of out the back. DISCONNECT POWER TO UNIT FIRST!!!!!!!!!!
