Sure, I'd be happy to help you with instructions on how to relocate the dryer vent to the bottom of your Whirlpool Model WED6620H dryer unit. Please keep in mind that these instructions are general guidelines, here are the steps to relocate the vent:
1. Disconnect the power: Before starting any work, ensure that the dryer is unplugged or the circuit breaker for the dryer is turned off.
2. Assess the location: Determine the new location for the vent on the bottom of the dryer unit. Take into consideration the space available and make sure it's clear of any obstructions.
3. Remove the existing vent: Locate the current vent attachment on the back of the dryer and remove it. This may involve loosening screws or removing a clamp.
4. Clean the area: Clean the area where the new vent will be installed to remove any debris or lint that may have accumulated.
5. Prepare the new vent: If a new vent attachment is needed to be installed on the bottom of the dryer, ensure that you have the correct vent kit or adapter. This may involve purchasing a separate kit that is compatible with your specific model.
6. Install the new vent: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing the new vent attachment. This typically involves aligning the vent hole on the dryer with the attachment and securing it in place with screws or a clamp.
7. Check for proper airflow: Once the new vent is installed, it's crucial to check for proper airflow. Reconnect the dryer to power, turn it on, and make sure that there is unrestricted air movement through the vent.
8. Test the dryer: After verifying the airflow, run a short cycle on your dryer to ensure that it's working properly and that the vent is functioning as intended. Remember to always prioritize safety during any installation or maintenance tasks.
If you're uncertain about any step or lack experience, it's recommended to hire a professional technician to ensure the job is done correctly.
