Your home dryer is a simple appliance that uses a drum to rotate clothing, and heated air to evaporate and remove the moisture and vent it to the outdoors. While it is not uncommon for certain components such as a heating element or electrical parts to fail due to wear and tear, breakdowns may also occur as a result of improper installation or an accumulation of lint in your dryer vent.
Older dryers may use a significant amount of power during the cloth drying process, while new technologies can help you to achieve greater energy efficiency.
Dryer Not Drying Properly
If you turn on your dryer but isn't drying your clothes properly, the problem may be a lack of circulation due to an accumulation of lint. In addition to the potential for a dryer fire and the unnecessary wear and tear on system components, a clogged lint screen or dryer vent hose hampers the flow of air and forces your dryer to work harder than required. Clear the lint screen properly after each load with the right cleaning tools, and buy a dryer cleaning kit to ensure maintenance.
Drying System Won't Spin
A dryer that starts, but won't spin, likely has a worn belt or drum bearing. If you are having the right tools you may be able to find and replace the belt yourself, after disconnecting the power to the dryer and removing the rear panel.
Your Home Dryer Not Heating Properly
A lack of heat is due to a problematic heating element or a blown thermal fuse. This fuse is connected with the heating chamber and is designed to blow once the temperature reaches risky level. While the fuse may have simply blown on its own, it is essential to determine if there is an underlying problem causing the dryer to overheat.
You may think that putting more clothes at once will save you on water and electricity, but it actually just leads to more stress on your drying system, while leaving your clothes wet. Ensure high performance of your drying system with top quality Dryer Vent Cleaning Tools.
