Vent Potential Issue
Dryer Vent Potential Issue in
Intrigue, Magna and Affiinity model dryer vents
as shared by Damon Rapozo
“…Brian Vandewalker [service technician] has noticed on some Intrigue, Magna, and Affinity models that the dryer vent is separating from the sidewall. Once this happens it allows water to enter the sidewalls...
The
factory originally glued in the vent. Since the sidewall expands and contracts
at a different rate than the ABS plastic on your dryer vent, it works its way
loose and can start to allow water in the sidewall.
The fix recommended is to remove the vent,
clean everything really good, then use the casting holes on the back side of
the dryer vent as mounting holes. Drill out those casting marks, then screw the
vent to the sidewall. Finish it off with a good sealant... Next time you are in
for service at your favorite service center, you might ask them to examine your
dryer vent…” –Damon Rapozo
