A dependable dryer is essential for keeping your laundry routine running smoothly, but because it deals with high heat and heavy lint, it requires regular attention to stay safe and efficient. At ABC Appliances & Services, we want your used appliances to perform good, so we’ve put together a few expert tips to help you care for your dryer.
The most important rule for safety and efficiency is managing lint build-up; while cleaning the screen after every load is a must, you should also detach the vent hose once a year to vacuum out the ductwork. This prevents the motor from overheating and significantly reduces the risk of dryer fires. To keep the machine running smoothly, avoid overstuffing the drum so that hot air can circulate freely around your clothes.
Additionally, if you use dryer sheets, wipe the internal moisture sensors with a little rubbing alcohol once a month to remove waxy residue that can interfere with drying cycles. By following these simple steps, you’ll keep your energy bills low and your clothes in great shape.
