An outlet replacement can alter the exhaust arrangement, making its timing relevant to a vented dryer complaint. It does not prove that the grille is the only cause.
Understanding this situation
Describe what changed and whether airflow, noise or drying performance changed afterwards. A product advertised as a standard vent may still need compatibility with the appliance's installation requirements.
A useful next step
Stop use where restriction or overheating is suspected and obtain competent advice. Do not remove the grille and leave the machine exhausting through an unfinished opening as a workaround. Keep the full model available for assessment.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
