Dryer Vent Flap Cover

[ARD]

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

Take care.

Hope ya'll are doing well! ? Supposed to warm up and rain. Yay.?

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.View attachment 4735View attachment 4736

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.

Easy fix. Get blue painters tape. A caulk remover may be better. A tube of clear silicone and caulk gun if needed.

I'm in Sherrills Ford, NC visiting family. Leave here January 7th for Pensacola, FL for a couple of days

I'm at the Pensacola RV Park right now, weather is great! Much warmer than NC, which I left yesterday morning.

I'm going to arrive there on Jan. 8th for a couple of nights... hopefully. Haven't reserved yet. On it tomorrow.

I reserved early, like several months ago. From what I'm told (by the owner Janine) they are booked solid as are most of the surrounding areas. Call, quick!

Call, quick!

I got the last site. Yahoo!

Oh good, I'm glad you got a site! We're in site# 12. Bummer though, we're leaving on Sunday the 3rd. Gonna miss you by five days!

What site did you get? I'll send you a picture of it!

Darn. Sorry to miss ya'll. I have no idea what site, lol. I think it's a pull through. I'm only there for a couple of days then hustling to get to AZ. I can't wait to feel warmer temperatures. ?

I understand! We got a late start leaving NC because it was so cold the jack stands were frozen to the ground. The weather here in Pensacola is wonderful compared to what we left.

Seems a shame that after thousands of miles we're going to miss you by a few days! You drive too slow!

Just maybe (hopefully) you have the same issue we experienced. DW noticed the flap was missing on our vent and from the ground, it did look like it came off. Got on the ladder and was extremely lucky that the vent cover was stuck open. Used a long bottle type brush to clean while the dryer was on.

Thanks for helpful hint. I was hoping the same thing and used my brush to clean up in there too. Nothing came back down.? But I'll try again. Thanks again.
