Excessive lint build up in fan blades of Electrolux 617 series dryer
I watched and re-watched a YouTube video where these parts were recommended for a retro fit of the Electrolux 617 dryer. The original parts for this dryer allow too much lint to get past the lint screen and into the fan blades. To install these new parts you just need to be careful to pull the moisture sensor leads off of the old grill assembly and put them on to the correct prongs on the new grill assembly. (You will not use the leads that the new parts come with.) You may want to take a picture of how the leads were on the old assembly before you pull them off. You also need two, two-inch #10 screws that are readily available at hardware stores. I bought the "sheet metal" type screws. The YouTube video can be found by entering the words "Electrolux Dryer Lint Fix & Retrofit" into Google or YouTube search bar. If you follow it to the letter all will be well, but be careful to line up the holes for the screws. Having someone else holding a flashlight would be ideal, but it's not absolutely necessary.
So does this work? Yes, the parts fit just fine and they improve the situation a great deal but they don't completely solve it if you have a dog that has those little short sharp hairs and the dog sleeps in your bed, sits on your lap and leaves dog hair all over stuff that will be washed and put into the dryer. Those hairs will still get past the new clam shell filter but the good news is, you don't have to pull the dryer apart to clean the fan blades after you have installed these new parts. You can take the hose from your vacuum cleaner and just stick it in the fan blade compartment (after removing clamshell lint screen) and you will be able to capture most of what got past the screen. How is this different than before? The kind of lint that makes it past the new parts is much lighter and finer than what got past the old screen so the vacuum can easily pull it out.
PS I love Parts Select. This is the second thing I've ordered from them and I've been so impressed with how fast the parts arrived and how nicely they were packed. It's a first class organization in my opinion.
