INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS
I had a wonderful morning, the heating unit went out on my
dryer! Why does everything seem to fall apart this time of
year!???
The guy that fixes things went in to the dryer & pulled out the
lint filter. It was clean. We always clean the lint from the
filter after every load of clothes. He told us that he wanted to
show us something. He took the filter over to the sink & ran hot
water over it. Now, the lint filter is made of a mesh material -
I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like.
WELL......the hot water just sat on top of the mesh!!! It didn't
go through it at all!!! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film
over that mesh & that's what burns out the heating unit. You
can't SEE the film, but it's there. He said the best way to keep
your dryer working for a very long time and to keep your electric
bill lower) is to take that filter out & wash it with hot
soapy water & an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every
six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least
twice as long!How about that???!!!! Learn something new everyday!
I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that. So, I
thought I'd share!
Note: I went to my dryer & tested my screen by running water on it.
The water ran thru a little bit but mostly collected all the water
in the mesh screen. I washed it with warm soapy water & a nylon
brush & I had it done in 30 seconds. Then when I rinsed it the
water ran right thru the screen! There wasn't any puddling at all!
That repairman knew what he was talking about!
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.
NOT ONLY COULD IT SAVE SOMEONE'S HOME,
BUT IT COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE.
Interesting clothes dryer information.
