Splendide - dryer exhaust filter or not ?

Yahoo Message Number: 10640
I think you are using the word easy too easily! First, be very careful when removing the screws and then removing the wood pieces which are also glued down. Second, the washer/dryer is quite heavy and the lip it sits on is about 9 inches above the tile floor in my Allure. I would put a block of wood on the floor at the level of the front lip so that you could slide the washer onto that rather than let it drop to the floor. My 2cents worth. rvmike 2000 Allure #30493

When you open the doors to the washer/dryer, you'll see a small board at the bottom of the cabinet held in place with a few screws. Just remove the screws holding the board and the few screws holding the front of the plastic drip pan.
Removing the board and drip pan will create an opening just large enough to slide out the washer. Now reach into the hole at the back of the washer and disconnect the vent hose and water line connections and unplug the washer. It will now slide out easily.

Cleaning out all the lint and dust is now an easy task with the washer removed. Be sure to vacuum out the vent hose too.

Hope that helps you.

Yes, I don't like all the lint that piles up...periodically, I end > up hanging into the closet with my vacuum hose and fishing around > with it blindly just hoping to pick up whatever lint there is.
