- A: AnswerWe had the same request. It would not have been difficult to cut it, but the installer from BestBuy told us that he was not allowed to cut the hose down, and we were stuck with 8' of hose being folded up and twisted behind the dryer. We'll have to call someone to come fix it. (I'm too old now to be climbing over and behind appliances! LOL!)

- A: AnswerWe recommend the semi rigid vent kit because it is longer lasting than traditional kits, retains heat and lessens the chance of damage caused by fire. Thank You, Frigidaire
Answered by FrigidaireSupport
- A: AnswerThat is a very inefficient installation. Not only does it force your dryer to work harder to push the moist air out, but it can create a build-up of lint, which can eventually become a fire hazard. Most dryers have an indented space that allows the vent hose to be installed in a straight line without taking more than a few inches behind the dryer. When our washer was installed, the installer ran a similar loop with the drain hose so that it showed over the top of the machine, in spite of the fact that there were slots on the back of the washer for the drain hose. I asked him to move it, and he pushed it down a bit, but after he left we fixed it ourselves.

- A: AnswerYes you can use a regular vent hose instead of this one. I did. I purchased one from Home Depot.

- A: AnswerElbow would have prevented my install from mashing the duct when they pushed it in; so I didn't notice it fell off until they had left. They didn't even use the kit I purchased. And they also didn't ground the cord so they destroyed my new dryer. Will never trust another installer, have to double check everything.

Q: QuestionIs this for changing the dryer to a side vent?(5 answers)
A: AnswerYou can use this kit to direct the exhaust from the back to an outlet off to the side, but it will not change where the dryer itself exhausts. This is a universal install kit. A side vent kit is typically manufacturer-specific.Answered by FrigidaireSupport
