Repair - Dryers
Usage:
Many dryers come equipped with an automatic
setting. If the automatic feature uses a
temperature sensor rather than a moisture sensor,
you may be wasting energy during the drying cycle.
A typical load of laundry should take no more than
45-50 minutes to dry. How does yours stack
up?
Maintenance:
Be sure to clean the lint filter after every load.
If the lint filter is too full, the drying time
will increase dramatically. Also, be sure to clean
the duct leading outside at least once a year as
lint accumulates in the duct and can increase
drying times and pose a fire hazard. Always use
aluminum ducting rather than white vinyl ducting.
Repair:
It is common over time for dryers to stop heating.
If the dryer is electric, this usually means the
heating element has burned out. If it's gas, the
igniter should be checked. These are repairs that
many do-it-yourselfers can tackle.
