Product review (5 stars): Tested my dryer without an exhaust duct and airflow was fine. Attached duct and ran outside to feel airflow
NORMALLY THESE BREAK DUE TO CLOGGED VENTILATION!
It came with directions but I didn't check them for accuracy. It fit directly in place of prior parts. Tested my dryer without an exhaust duct and airflow was fine. Attached duct and ran outside to feel airflow. There was almost no flow. That is likely why the prior parts broke and if the clog is left in place you can expect more safeties or thermostats to break.
