Here are some general tips to keep your clothes dryer running smoothly and prevent it from getting ruined:
- Clean the lint filter after every load: This is the most important thing you can do to keep your dryer running efficiently. A clogged lint filter can cause the dryer to overheat and even catch fire.
- Clean the dryer vent regularly: Over time, lint can build up in the dryer vent, reducing airflow and causing the dryer to work harder than it needs to. Clean the vent at least once a year to keep it working properly.
- Don’t overload the dryer: Overloading the dryer can cause it to work harder than it needs to and can also increase the risk of a fire.
- Use the right cycle for your clothes: Not all clothes can be dried on the same cycle. Make sure to read the care label on your clothes to determine the best cycle to use.
- Keep the dryer level: A dryer that is not level can cause it to vibrate excessively and even damage the machine over time.
By following these simple tips, you can help ensure that your dryer stays in good working order and lasts for many years to come.
