#Dryer Vent cleaning

[elledritchhorr0r]

I'm so butch.

My dryer wasn't drying so It had to be fixed! I will recount the events.

First I unplugged the big bitch

Then I moved the dryer from the wall so that I could get behind it, as well as pull a shop vac back there. From behind it I removed the clamp that attached the flexible vent hose to the air vent at the back of the dryer. With the vent opened I ran the hose for the shop vac inside of the flexible vent hose and sucked out and stuck debris, I did the same inside the dryer vent hole. I expected there to be a large clog somewhere inside but I didn't find it.

Notes: the metal vent port in the back of the dryer is made from sheet metal. It is very sharp, don't cut your fingers like me.

I couldn't find anything indicating a clog from the back, so I went to the front. I had to remove the housing for the lint screen. This was very difficult because there were 5 screws, 2 in the front of the dryer and 3 on the inside. They were all different sizes so I separated them into piles. After removing the screws the housing came apart in 2 pieces. One was the flappy bit that says "insert lint screen here" the other was the inside wall, that didn't get fully removed because there was some electrical wires connecting it that I didn't wanna fuck with.

With the housing removed I found the problem, it was a 3 inch deep pile of lint, cat hair, and dog hair, and dimes. It had blocked most of the air flow out of the dryer it seems. I tried to suck it out and my vaccume clogged and wouldn't run. I will have to take it apart to fix it later. Undeterred I grabbed a pair of tongs and began to remove all the debris by hand. This was very dirty work, please wear a mask if you do it. I didn't and I am feeling very silly about it as I write. Additionally the inside parts of the dryer are made of sheet metal and are very sharp. Wear gloves if you try this bc I cut my fingers up.

Notes: wear PPE mask and gloves, try to properly light the area, I put my phone in the dryer and it DID NOT help.

Finally having removed sufficient debris I began to put everything back together, interior wall, screws, reattach the flexible vent hose (in the future id like to use rigid venting but that's currently out of the scope of my abilities), plug it back in, and push the dryer back against the wall. You maybe be saying, Elle it sounds like you forgot something and you would be right. I forgot to put the flappy bit back on. So I had to remove the 5 screws holding the housing in place and replace the flappy bit and put the 5 screws back. It was frustrating.

Final notes: the biggest difficulty for me was a lack of proper lighting. If you can bring a portable lamp I would recommend you do. Also PPE. Where I live it probably would have cost us 300 bucks to get this fixed. It took me 10 minutes of googling and an hour of struggling (I'm not as able bodied anymore). I'm hopeful that I've resolved the issue, if I haven't we will consider calling a technician.

Tools: I used a Philips head screwdriver and a shop vac. You could dry it with a regular vaccume with a hose attachment, but this broke my shop vac so you should be confident that you can repair it. Also a great amount of queer audacity.

Magic can be so damned literal at times...

Spent this morning writing my next astrology column. Fire and Water, Air and Earth, movement of energy, yada yada ching ching ching, etm.

Met a friend for coffee this afternoon. Talked magic -- Tarot, shading into four element theory and five element theory, the usefulness of the Platonic solids in theorizing about the movement of the elements, the power of number, the idea of different astrological ages ruled by each element, how history flows in and around humans, and around human communities, when the elemental ages shift. Discussed how we're currently in such a shift, comparisons with earlier ages. ad nauseam.

Came home. Wife bought me a new present: a set of specialty brushes and tools for cleaning out dryer vents! Set to work: moved the Cube of Earth which is the dryer: big, heavy, metal, awkward, intentionally designed to be hard to move. Disconnected it from Fire and Air: unplugged it, and removed the aluminum tubes connecting it to the outside vent. Used a vacuum and my new magical wands – the brushes – to open the Path of Air completely, and scrub out all that nasty accretion of Earth (lint) from the dryer vent tube.

Moved the other Cube of Earth, the washer, after unhooking it from Fire (power), Air (empty outflow pipe), Water (hot and cold intake valves). Removed all the stuff off the top of it so I could get behind it. Used that space behind the washer to reattach the dryer hoses to the outside vent. Cleaned out the outermost part of the vent. Climbed out from behind the washer, reattached it to Water, Fire, and Air. Pushed the washer and dryer completely back into position.

And once that was done, I could have a rational and sensible conversation with my wife about our plans for the next couple of weeks, a conversation we've been tiptoe-ing around for weeks. We could discuss it in an Airy way instead of being in an emotional, Watery slosh for hours.

Magic. Sometimes it really is that damn literal.
