How to Check the Lint in a Calypso Dryer

Cleaning the Lint Trap

• 1

  Unplug the dryer from the wall before performing cleaning. Look on the right side of the top panel for a covered slot. Lift the panel, flipping it up. Grasp the lint trap and pull it straight out of the machine.

• 2

  Remove the lint buildup on the lint trap, using your hands, while standing near a garbage can. Attach the crevasse attachment to the vacuum cleaner. Turn on the vacuum cleaner, then vacuum the lint trap completely clean. Set the lint aside.

• 3

  Slide the crevasse attachment into the lint trap slot in the dryer. Suck away any debris that the lint trap left behind. Free up stuck-on lint with a dry bottle brush.

• 4

  Turn off the vacuum cleaner and replace the lint trap in the machine. Plug up your dryer and use it when ready.

Check the Dryer Hose

• 5

  Look at the back of the dryer for a silver foil or white plastic hose tube. The tube will be wide and ridged. Trace the dryer tube to the outside vent.

• 6

  Lift the outdoor vent door and look inside the vent, using a flashlight. Verify that there are no obstructions in the vent. Remove any visible lint debris, using a soft mop head or a small broom.

• 7

  Close the vent door or return it to its previous position.
