Step 1

Locate the lint trap on your dryer. Kenmore’s stackable dryers usually have lint traps located at the front of the machine inside the dryer door or at the bottom of the machine to the right of the dryer door.

Step 2

Open the lint receptacle. Pull out the lint trap.

Step 3

Pull the lint off the lint trap. Wear gloves for this task if you do not want to touch the lint with your fingers. Throw the lint into the garbage.

Step 4

Rinse the empty lint trap out with soap and water. Dry it well with a paper towel or dish cloth.

Step 5

Return to the dryer. Wipe away any visible lint from inside the empty lint receptacle with a damp paper towel.
