Ever wonder why your dryer takes to long to dry clothes
Learn how to improve the painstaking dryer time. Your dryer filter captures
40%-60% of lint generated. The rest gets blown thru the exhaust system as some
even gets trapped in the dryer vent, and in the dryer blower housing.
Your home has the potential for a fire hazard caused within
the Dryer Vent!
As the build up of lint within your dryer vent clogs the
pipe over time poses a dangerous situation. As you notice your clothes may take
a longer time to dry it may be symptom of a clogged dryer vent. In fact a clean
dryer vent could reduce the stress on your appliance. Clogged dryer vents
causes major appliance failure as your dryer overheats. With annual dryer vent
cleaning it will reduce the time to dry a load. A blocked dryer vent may take
three to four times as long to dry clothes costing upwards of $3.00 per load
compared to the average of seventy five cents. You should avoid the inexpensive
plastic dryer vent hose connecting to the dryer vent duct work since it poses a
threat of melting within the extreme heat and increases the risk of fire. Check
the condition of your dryer vent hose for kinks blocking air flow. It is
recommended to stop using those simple dryer sheets. Instead use liquid fabric
softener to reduce the amount of dirt and debris build up with each cycle. Now
let’s talk about your dryer appliance failure. A clogged or restricted exhaust vent air flow is
the most frequent cause of a thermal fuse blowing. Check the lint
screen for lint or a build-up of debris that could be inhibiting air flow
through the dryer.
With in your machine there are some safety components to assist from keeping other potential hazards to happen within your dryer system. The main safety prevention component is your dryer’s thermal fuse to cut off power to the other components functions. It is suggested to open the door or closet door in the room or laundry space while the machine is operating.
At least once a month: Check the lint screen
for lint or a build-up of debris that could be inhibiting air flow through the
dryer. Remember it’s what you can’t see in the filter screen; a filmy like
non-visual layer can accumulate on the filter and can cause the filter airflow
not to produce adequately within the dryer venting system. It is recommended
for you to wash the lint screen with warm soapy water and a nylon brush, rinse
it off in hot water, and then thoroughly dry it before putting it back in the
lint screen housing on the dryer.
By doing these simple tips it will help keep your dryer running
efficient and improve the painstaking dryer time.
