I have an old GE electric dryer. It heats hot at the beginning and then cools off early. It usually takes about 2 heating cycles at 75 min to dry clothes. Any suggestions would help. Thanks

The most common cause of long dry times is a dirty/malfunctioning vent system.
Undo the dryer from the exhaust Run a load If the load dries correctly then you have a vent problem. Clean/check the vent system. Make sure the outside louvers open fully.
If you do not want lint in the house. Take a pair of pantyhose, put one leg into the other and attach this to the dryer exhaust. Leave enough room behind the dryer so it can blow out like a windsock. Run a load.
Both the above will allow you to check the air flow and temp. Also the above is NOT recommended for a gas dryer due to possible carbon monoxide problems. |
