Repair Tips
Make sure your external venting material is compliant with your owners manual requirements. If you have the improper venting have it replaced as soon as possible to avoid any potential fire hazard from lint build up. If you are unsure, call our office and we will help you determine if you are compliant or not. Many "Use and Care" manual’s show pictures of the acceptable and unacceptable types of venting.
- Follow the proper loading procedure and machine operation.
- Never overload the dryer.
- Make sure you clean the dryer lint filter after every load.
- If the clothes are not getting dry:
- Always check the venting system.
- Make sure the dryer has not been pushed back against the rear exhaust duct causing an air flow restriction.
- Make sure the clothes are coming out of the washer spun damp dry - if the washer is not spinning the clothes damp dry, the dryer will not dry the clothes in a normal amount of time.
Tech Tip
BAD ODORS! If you are painting, refinishing wood products etc., in your house or one of your apartments, don’t be surprised if the clothes that come out of your dryer smell funny. In fact, sometimes the odor will be in the air and people believe they have a chemical problem coming from their dryer. Air out the house by opening some windows and re-launder the clothes. The problem will go away in several days.
