How can I clean all of the lint from my Maytag electric dryer?
Question:The lint trap is on the inside and I clean it before every use but when I remove the lint screen I can see lint down in where it is almost impossible to get at with a vacuum. Any ideas out there?
Answers:
for a quick fix get an empty cardboard paper towel roll and put it on the end of your vacuum hose, you can then flatten the end of the cardboard and insert it into the dryer duct, or any other place that is hard to reach.
Check your local hardware or appliance store. Threre are special brushes on long flexible handles made specifically to clean out the innards of your dryer.
Here's an attachment for your vacuum that's designed to insert into the lint trap duct

I thought the first two answers were terrific. For more information on your dryer, go to http://appliancequickfix.com/
There are long flexible brushes made for exactly that. They have fat soft bristles on a flexible wire shaft. They sell them at Home Depot for example. They even have them on late night infomercials on TV.
