Clean the machine! Even though you empty the lint filter after each use (right?), lint buildup can clog the duct over time and become a fire hazard. A sure sign that your dryer is clogged? It takes more than an hour to dry a load. Once a year, detach the hose from the back of the dryer and snake a long brush through to push out lint (20-foot dryer vent brush, $30). Also scrub the lint filter once a year with a small toothbrush and a bit of detergent. Rinse, then air-dry completely.

Clean the lint trap: The lint trap largely captures the dust that is released during drying. The lint trap is often located in the door or doorway, but this differs per brand and/or model. In the manual of your tumble dryer you can read exactly where the lint trap is.

The dryer won’t start. First, make sure the machine’s plug isn’t loose or the electric outlet isn’t malfunctioning. If those two work fine, but the dryer still won’t turn on, the common culprit is the thermal fuse. Otherwise, the switch of the door could be in the “off” position.The dryer isn’t spinning. If the machine fails to spin even if it’s on, the problem could be the dryer belt. Its switch or motor may trigger the damage, too. The dryer burns the laundry. If your dryer burns a load of laundry, turn it off, and then remove the plug from the outlet. This problem may need several repairs or replacement parts. Don’t attempt any DIY repair. Instead, contact a professional at once. Discover additional details at Dryer Repair In Irvine.

Investigate opting for a natural gas dryer versus electric dryer. The cost of operating a natural gas clothes dryer is almost always less than an electric dryer. The dryers do cost a bit more and require professional installation so that should be weighed against operating costs. 2015 brought the first Energy Star rated clothes dryers. For many years, nearly every dryer (low-end to fancy) cost the same amount of money to operate. Take time to research the newest offerings if you are in the market to buy a dryer.
