Top Ten List For Your Dryer
1.
Have your Dryer serviced once a year. Have the lint cleaned out and the
belts and pulleys checked. Having the lint cleaned out is very important lint is very flammable.
2.
Clear lint from the lint tray before you use the dryer each time. Proper air flow will cut down the drying
time, as well as wear and tear on the dryer and your clothes.
3.
When drying clothes, factor in the cool-down cycle to allow the clothes to finish drying with the residual
heat in the dryer.
4.
Wash your lint filter every six months. Use a soft brush and a little dish washing soap. Wash and Rinse and
put it back in your dryer and run the dryer for about ten minutes to dry it. This will keep it from
rusting.
5.
When loading your dryer, place similar clothing types together (separate heavy cottons from lighter material
clothes) to prevent over drying and wasting energy.
6.
When drying more than one load, place the lighter garments in the dryer first. This will mean that the dyer
is already hot from the residual heat to help the heavier clothes dry more quickly.
7.
Don't overload the dryer. Overloading doesn't allow enough space for the clothes to tumble and they will take
longer to dry.
8.
Purchase a front loading washer. Front-loading washers leave less water in your clothes than top-load
washers. So using a front loading washer will keep your dryer from working as hard. This will not only save you
energy it will keep your clothes looking brighter longer.
9.
Have your dryer vent cleaned out every year. This will keep your electric bills down and will prevent your
clothes from overheating and shirking.
10.
Make sure to close the door to your wash room in summer and keep it open in winter. Closing the wash room
door will keep the dryer from heating up the whole house in summer. In the winter, keeping the door open will add a
bit of extra heat to the house.
Attempting to repair a dryer without the proper training is dangerous.
Dryers
should only be repaired by a skilled technician who has been trained with the knowledge and experience to
safely repair them. Repairs performed by unqualified people risk serious injury or even death.
A Gas Dryer using a Standard 115 volt wall outlet can carry 150 times enough current needed to kill a
person.
A Electric Dryer will carry 300 times enough current to kill a person
