Hello,

To access that housing what ya need to do is remove the front panel by removing the 2 phillips headed screws on the bottom of the front panel and tilt the panel out at a 45degree angle and it will come free from the cabinet. directly behind the front panel once removed will be the lint filter/blower housing.

Before removing the front panel be sure to disconnect power to the dryer.

I'm assuming your dryer is similar in design to the one you posted this question under. If it is, you need to follow these steps to access the dryer interior cabinet:

1. UNPLUG the dryer and remove the lint screen. If the lint screen is on top of the dryer, proceed to step 2. If the lint screen is located inside the door, skip to step 3.

2. Remove the two screws that were under the lint screen and lift the top panel, proceed to step 4.

3. Lift the top panel of the dryer. On some models this is accomplished by accessing three screws under the operating console. On other models, you simply stand in front of the dryer and grab each rear corner of the top panel and pull the top towards you. This will release the retaining clips and you will be able to lift the top open. Proceed to step 4.

4. Unplug the door switch conector plug and any ground wire that may be installed on the casing.

5. Locate the two screws that hold the front panel in place. There should be one screw on each side in the cabinet interior.

6. With the door shut, lean against the front panel and remove the two screws that hold it in place. Once the screws are removed, grasp the front panel at the top center and lift straight up to remove.

You should now have complete access to the dryer interior.

If you experience any difficulties following these procedures, please post back with a model number (located on a nameplate around the door opening) so that I may be able to provide you with better assistance. I hope this helps you.

Hi
You need to remove the left side panel, this is the side where the drain container is, once removed you will see the drain pump with two pipes coming from it, remove the pipes and top cover, disconnect the wiring, remove the pump unit with the clip, clean the float unit and pump, also remove the congealed mess in the water trouth as this is what holds the float up and makes the machine think the drain container is full.
I bet you will find this will cure the problems you are having, it did with mine.

you need to clean the vents and lint trap and etc....and i would need the model number to tell you which route to take

Raise top by prying lose clips on front, remove 2 screws holding front in place (inside cabinet) and disconnect wirings, removed front (panel with door) panel, removed 4 screws holding inside front panel in and lifted it out, released tensioner from belt, lifted out drum out of unit, vacuumed accumulated lint from machine, motor, wiring, checked and greased drum rollers and tension pulley, cleaned drum edge from accumulated roller debris using automotive brake rotor cleaner, reintsalled drum, applied automotive belt dressing to belt and reassembled. Working for now. If reoccurs I will replace drum rollers and tension pulley.

You need to check the dryer INTERIOR to ensure there's no lint accumulations on or around the heating element. The exhaust systems on dryers are not perfect and SOME lint often gets by the lint screen and can start the collect inside the dryer. The lint will begin to smolder and give off an odor if it sits on the heating element housing. Make sure the dryer is unplugged before attempting to access the interior. If the model number you provided is correct, the heating element will be located under the drum on the right-hand side. You will need to lift the dryer top and remove the front panel (with the door) to access the inside and vacuum. Let me know if you need further assistance. I hope this information is helpful to you.

you might want to check you venting, if tis not clear, your lint might be building up inside machine and burning off as you use your unit.
