Product review (1 stars): The instructions in the package suck donkey balls
DOES NOT WORK WITH YEAR 2015
Model # DLGX4271W - GAS DRYER
FOR RIGHT SIDED VENTING

I studied all the comments on this post.

Watched the videos on putting this in.

The instructions in the package suck donkey balls.

It is tiny font, and crappy printing of the images that you can not read.

Overall the conversion if very simple, IF POSSIBLE.

The directions say to knock out the cutout first.

This is impossible because you have no idea how the knock out is built.

Instead remove the screw to the old vent in the back, and then the old vent.

Just pulls right out.

Then be very careful putting your hand inside so you don't get cut.

On my dryer on the back hole there was nothing sharp.

I shined a light and saw how the knockout was attached, different than in videos I had seen.

Initially I tried to just hit the knockout with a hammer from the outside and nothing happened.

I ended up using a screw driver from the outside, setting it against the metal attachments, that are kind of like detachable cards in magazines, where
they have been perforated. There were about 6 connection points. I jammed the screw driver against the connection point, then hit it with a hammer. I think a chisel of some sort would have been the correct tool. Wore safety glasses just to be safe.

Then I grabbed the cutout with a pair of plyers, and rotating it back and forth got it to let go of the final place it was attached.

I looked through the hole, and guess what?

THERE WAS A BIG F%#%ING GAS PIPE RUNNING RIGHT ACROSS THE SPACE!!

I had even asked LG executive services about this before hand, and they said it would not be a problem.

See, I had read that in another review.

The only way to fix this would be to have the gas line, which is a rigid line, re-run inside the dryer.

All I could think of was pimp my ride. Maybe we could put a fondue maker in at the same time.

Why in the world would you ship a dryer with a cutout for right side venting when it was not possible?

Because it is the same one they use for electric dryers, which I expect would have worked for the conversion.

I was assured by LG Executive Services at 877-543-8325 that this would work.

It did not, and the reason is that the gas line goes directly across the hole for right sided venting.

So LG get's 0 stars for wasting weeks of my time waiting.

This product gets 1 star because there should be something in the product description that this is not for our model right side venting. But really this is LG's fault.

Also pro tip - If you ordered from Home Depot and they delivered you have 48 hours to return it.

I screamed and moaned, worried something like this would happen so the Store Manager at Home Depot sent me an email saying I could return the dryer any time if the conversion did not work.

So as Bill Murray says in Caddy Shack - I've got that going for me, and that's nice.
