Hello All

I need to replace my dryer vent hose my issue is it's on the second floor and the pvc pipe leads outside the space from inside is small and I cannot fit the flex hose into it along with my arm I could use some help on this please

Any suggestions will be appreciated

Thank you

This is the entry space under and to the left is a pic pipe about guess about 3-4 inches round

At the top of this pic you can see a tiny piece of the pipe I tried taking the photo sideways can't get in there with my phone

    Sheila, you need to gather up the flex hose and put your arm through the inside of it to connect it to the vent. THEN hook it to the dryer.

    I use my Grabber to hold the hose while I maneuver it into place. This has to be the worst planned appliance in our time. But female initiative gets those hoses reconnected! Best wishes, Mona. ☺️

    Thank you all for your advice I did exactly what Mona suggested in order to secure it I put a zip tie around it first once in place I pulled it tight!

    You all are the best
