@helipro555 and it's (they are called) or (They're called) in this context, (there) refers to location. So much for your attempt to feel superior stupid shit.

@helipro555 Actually it is a "dryer vent hose clamp". A "hose clamp" could be for a car or any other hose. If you want to part hairs know what you are talking about yourself expert.

Thanks for posting the video. Just got a quote from Sears (for $129) to clean dryer vents. Instead, tried myself using my central vacuum system. In order to get as close to the outlet vent as possible, I taped a flexible tube extension hose onto my vacuum hose to shove it into the end that goes to the outside vent. Removed much lint from all sections of the duct system, so I'm hoping this will result in improvement!

Dryer clamps are such a frustration! You would think with our space age technology they would have a better clamp by now. Hard to get on & always popping off.

Merry Merry Christmas and a BIG THANKS. Here it is on the EVE and clothes in the dryer and dryer not drying. Searched this video and what a lifesaver. There didn't seem like much lint in the hose but I vacuumed the hose, dryer vent and hole in the wall and yep the dryer lite up and started to heat up. Works perfectly. I have a Whirlpool GAS Dryer.

A very Merry Christmas and Happy new Year to you and your family.

@DryerVentProf ok kool thanx man for the tip..im gonna cheack and see if theres lint in it and if there is i take it out .. and the hose thing i got is just like this one on the video..

@lilmikey23333 You can check to see if there is lint in the flexible tube and replace if needed. If it is foil "accordion type" replace it with corrugated semi-rigid. If the vent doesnt terminate directly out the side of the house, or if you want it thoroughly cleaned including the inside of the dryer, Call a professional. Im located in florida and 75% of the vents go through the roof and need a professional to clean.
