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.

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.

The air duct on the back of the drum: Is this part replacable from the inside of the dryer? Or must you be able to access the back?
For model number FFQE5000QW
Hi Jean,
Thank you for your question. To access the air duct and replace it, you will need to remove the back panel. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

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!

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 install, 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.
