I Have A Wed8300sb - Electric Dryer And Would Like To Clean Out The Bottom
I need to clan out the bottom part and can't find out how to open the bottom. It looks like a slide type of deal but not sure. It needs cleaning as I have a dog and there seems to be a lot of dog hair in the filter. I clean that on every dry but I saw a technician do it once but I would like to do it myself.
