an empty tooth brush package fell down the dryer lint chute while I was cleaning the linkt filter. What can be done to remove the empty plastic toothbrush package ? Dryer is an electric kenmore 400 series model number 110.67422600 Dryer makes a small noise like air blowing around the plastic but does not smell.

What you have to do is unplug the dryer, and pull the filter out, and take the 2 phillip head screws out right where the filter is. Then go to the back side, and take the back off. Now on the left side we have to remove the lint housing. There are four 5/16th of an inch screws, 2 on the lower left side of the housing, and 2 on the right. Remove them, and slide the vent housing out of the way, and retrieve the toothbrush package. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

This may help
I have dropped something down the lint filter area and how can I remove this, Whirlpool, Inglis, Kenmore.

I would remove it ASAP, if it drops down into the blower it could cause major damage!!!
