Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This dryer rear air duct is designed to channel heated air from the burner or heating element into the drum and guide moisture- and lint-laden air toward the exhaust, ensuring optimal airflow and drying performance. Constructed from durable metal to withstand high temperatures, it measures approximately 34.6 inches in length and 3.8 inches in height and includes mounting points for internal components such as thermostats. Installation is straightforward—remove the damaged duct and secure the new one in place. Replacing a worn or damaged duct helps prevent overheating, improve drying efficiency, and eliminate issues like lint bypassing filters or marks on clothing.

You must disconnect appliance from the gas, water and vent to access the back. Remove the top of the dryer which then allows you to remove the rear panel by removing all screws, You may also have to remove 2 electrical connections to get this panel off. Now you have access to the air duct. To remove the air duct there are 3 screws inside
... Read morethe dryer and 2 screws on the lower part of the air duct. One of the lower screws is facing toward the inside of the dryer and you will need a 12"+ screwdriver to be able to remove. Once you do all that install the new part and repeat steps in reverse.

Doable with 2 people but it definitely took tiime
Once we got the dryer out of the cramped where we could work on it, the project went a little quicker. I'd recommend using paper plates/bowls, that you label, to hold all the screws for each piece you remove off the back. It doesn't seem like it will be a lot, but we had at least 20-30 screws in 4-5 different sizes. Unlike someone else's
... Read moreinstall, we had to completely pull the white back panel off, as well as the main back cover, due to one screw holding the air duct from the inside of the dryer compartment (meaning we couldn't reach everything from the back). Getting this screw out was a challenge and seemed like a huge design flaw, but if you can't get to that screw, the old air duct isn't coming out. There are 2 other screws holding the air duct but they're easy to reach once the back panel is off. Once that was taken out the process was straightforward, we just took our time reattaching everything step-by-step. Now our dryer works like new.

Hello, i'm wondering if this part #16 is the air duct screen that shows in the back of the drum? Ours has melted nylon caked on it and we've tried to remove it and can't. The melted nylon is coming off on our sheets when we dry them. We would like to replace just this screen portion with the holes in it. I have an image but don't see a place to add it on. Thank you.
For model number 41781122310
Hi Caitlin,
Thank you for your question. Yes, this would be that screen and the air duct at the back of your dryer there. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

hi,
The back duct/vent inside the dryer has turned rusted. Is this a common problem? Why might this be happening?
For model number 970L88022A1
Hello Mckenna, thank you for getting in touch. It is common to see the vent inside your dryer turning brown as if there is burn residue on it. The dryer’s high heat itself can turn the color of the vent to a darker tint. To work well, your dryer does need to get very hot, and it is normal for this heat to discolor the vent inside your dryer. You need to clean your vent grill in order to get rid of the brownish stains. We hope this information is useful!

We have replaced this panel twice, hoping it would stop burning our clothes. I use the low cycle and it's burning my clothes. like a honeycomb. What else can I do or replace? This repair is costing me lots of money!!
For model number laqg7011kw0
Hi Dolores, thank you for contacting us. Regularly clearing dust and lint from vents with a vacuum hose prevents clogs. Dryer vents should be cleaned regularly to allow proper airflow and prevent blockages. Every 6 months or so, use a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment to extract any lint buildup inside the dryer’s vents. If this does not help, we would recommend replacing the lint filter, part number PS2363394. We hope this solves your problem!
Any Suggestions for what to use to clean the residue from the dryer heat vent grill?
For model number FRQE7000LW0
Hi Steve, thank you for the question. Based on our research, you may need to use the soapy water with a squirt of dish soap to clean up the vent grill. We hope this information helps!
