A clear exhaust vent is a key part of your dryer working right. By not maintaining your dryer with regular cleaning, you are risking it failing at an inopportune time. A broken dryer is often the result of bearings, elements, ignitors or other critical parts due to the unit not being regularly maintained.
The following is a list of rules to follow to maintain your dryer:
- To make sure you get the best results from your dryer clean both the lint vents and the back of machine regularly.
- To increase tumbling action when doing a small load vary the size of the items, and only do a full load is using an Auto-Dry cycle.
- If you need a place to dry caps, sneakers, sweaters, stuffed toys and pillows you can purchase a drying rack that mounts on your machine.
- Putting anything flammable (oils, gas or lighter fluids, stain removers, or other cleaning products) in the dryer is just asking for a fire!
- It is much safer to air dry your foam backed rugs.
- If you hate uncomfortable bending over, associated with doing wash, try raising the dryer at least one foot off the ground and make sure to level your dryer and washer.
- Metal and rigid ducts are best to use with your dryer avoid any kind of foil and white plastic ducts which are both flammable and inefficient.
