Tried to clean inside the lint trap area with a dusting tool and it got stuck and when I pulled it out, it pulled a piece of metal out and now the lint trap won't go back in. How can I solve this?

my lint screen comes out to clean. to clean dust below the screen [before the 4 inch vent tube] i use my vacuum by
adding a cardboard tube [from empty paper towel roll]. i flatten most of the cardboard tube so i can stick it down into the narrow opening.. also a longer empty wrapping paper tube might work. another option is to use a metal flexible mechanic's tool [from dollar stores] - about 3 feet long by 3/8 inch thick with 4 wire fingers that push out the end using the spring loaded plunger. yes, have one but haven't needed to use it for dryer [yet].. ;-))

don't know if you already had this fixed,usually this is caused by not having your dryer cleaned out,the lint builds up inside the duct that the lint filter slides down into and has to be removed and cleaned out.also in some of the kenmore dryer ducts there's a metal clip inside the duct that can come loose and hold the lint filter up.these are the two most likely causes for this to happen.

I used a piece of bent metal clothes hanger to dig out some of the big pieces and then to dislodge the particles stuck to the bottom. First I tried my dirt devil and it wouldn't fit, then I brought in the shop vac. I have a roomba and no regular vacuum. The shop vac nozzle attachment was thin enough with some force to reach the majority and had the power to bring up the lint, dimes, and flossing tools. I use the shop vac with all extensions to clean my lint vent after removing the vent cover. If you plug the overflow in tub, the shop vac can remove hair clogs from the drain that accumulated from two long haired daughters for ten years. It can also unclog toilets (yuck), but has to be disinfected afterwards.

Error 68 can mean that your start button is stuck; check to make sure the button is not stuck in the pressed position behind the controls cover.

Luckily, dryers are light. Best thing to do is pull it out until you can remove the back cover. (unplug it first) Then vacuum and clean all the dust and lint you can. This should be a yearly thing at least anyway. Replace the back plug it in and slid it back. I do mine every 6 months or so.

Take the back cover off and there is a compartment that hook to the hose, with the right tools you can pull the compartment out and clean it to include other parts showing. hope I helped allittle.

hi, Sounds like everything mechanical and electrical is working. The sensors are located on the outbound air ducts. You may be able to improve things significantly by removing the dryer vent where it attaches to the rear (or side) of the machine, and cleaning the tube going into the machine. While you have it removed from the vent, remove the lint trap, use your vacuum crevice tool and clean the trap area. If you have the ability to blow air through the trap area, blow it through the crevice tool so that you are as far beyond the screen area as possible. Be warned that it may blow dust and lint from the vent, covering it with a piece of nylon stocking will catch most of it. The object of this whole exercise is, the exhaust air ducts collect dust and lint which collect moisture from the damp items, the sensor reacts to this so cleaning out as much of it as you can will help. Good Luck to You!

check to make sure no "dust bunnies" got inside you vent hose blocking air flow.
