Dryer Vent Flap Cover

[TJ&LadyDi]

Wonder if I can use my same cover and just replace the inside part.

I like this approach!

And, where in the world is @ARD these days?

Awesome. Can't hurt to try. I thought of some kind of mesh like Neal, but didn't think of the overheating. ? Will order part and find a tech when I get to AZ. I am uncertain how they put the vent in there. Maybe once the cover is off, you can unscrew black plastic part or something?? Guess we shall see.

I'm in Sherrills Ford, NC visiting family. Leave here January 7th for Pensacola, FL for a couple of days and then I work myself to Arizona! Sure hope it's warmer there. This past week has been cold. We had lows of 18. Of course the weather is warming up now that I'm getting ready to go. LOL

Sherrills Ford? You are only about 60 miles away from us, We are southeast of Charlotte. And yes, its been pretty cold.

Take care.

Rene, I removed and reinstalled the vent cover.
First I masked around the vent with duct tape to protect the paint.
Than went around carefully with a razor blade cutting the silicone caulk around.
After that popped it out with a screw driver.

I see the same tabs on the bottom of mine so it seems it just pops off??

Thank you so much @Buly! That is really helpful.

@Buly does this seem look like the right part number. It looks a little odd to me. My dryer vent looks like yours with the slanted, plasticky piece. Oh wait, the part below is showing the back rather than front, right?

The left piece with the cylinder goes in and the hose connects to it. So you're looking at the back side of it.

I'm so slow and you are fast. I was editing post as I realized that. Thanks Meester Neal.
