Tightening dryer hose
Looking for a more secure way to tighten the dryer hose to the dryer.
The bottom part of the dryer hose comes out from time to time. I rely on the friction between the dryer receptor and the hose's plastic sheathing to hold it in place. I thought of putting in a clamp, but the hose goes in too far into the dryer. Thus, it would be too difficult or impossible for me to tighten. I thought of drilling a small hole in the plastic sheathing and dryer receptor. Then putting a pointed screw in at an angle. I can't put it straight in as the receptor is somewhat inset into the dryer. Any ideas on how to secure this better? Please note, this plastic sheathing is not very flexible. I even have trouble from time to time with the other end of the hose coming out. It has a clamp. I tightened it pretty good today. Hopefully, it will hold. |
