Maureen Lux Zinda on Jun 09, 2016I use a long narrow brush for mine but mine is all in clear view. I know some people use their vacuum hose for it also. Hope that helps.Helpful Reply

Michelle Williams on Jun 09, 2016This may help if your outlet is outside. Take a leaf blower to the inside lint hose, have someone at the exit. You might have tape the blower to the hose. Turn it on then off a couple of times. Keep checking to make sure all the lint is out.Helpful Reply

Barbara Lowell on Jun 10, 2016I find that as long as I clean the screen with each load, and change the corrugated expandable 4" hose twice a year, never a problem. I also use a long brush made for that purpose, and a strong vacuum hose.Helpful Reply

Carole on Jun 10, 2016You can remove the screen holder by unscrewing two screws. It then becomes easier to clean the inside with the vacuum cleaner.Helpful Reply

Edith wheelhouse on Jun 10, 2016I have pulled my dryer out, unplug it, use a clean toilet brush and clean in from the back and in from the front. You will pull lots of lint from the inside of dryer. Also clean your vent inside and outside. I also wash the lint screen with soap and a brush, by keeping it clean, your clothes will dry faster with more air flow. Remmeber with electricty to always disconnect. As my husband tells me and tells "Safety is no Accident". Good luck.Helpful Reply

Karen Volk Moreland on Jun 10, 2016My boss actually used a plumbing "snake' to go through the dryer vent to get the built up lint out. Worked like a charm!Helpful Reply
