Moderators dtel Posted July 28, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 28, 2020 You live in Texas, this is the fastest summer cloths dryer, none faster. But your neighbors might look at you funny, especially if you hang out your thongs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get and idea of how much air it's putting out It's blowing air pretty well. I disconnected the exhaust duct in the middle to look for a clog. No clog. Ran the dryer with the duct still open. It blew pretty well and gave a good wind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the breaker could be tripped? I thought the 220 breakers had a clip to keep both sides closed or open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I assume you can check the heating unit with a VOM. If it's good, I would look at the "timer" and/or contactor for the heater or check for voltage at the heater. Maybe use an amp meter on the line to the heater. Just because there's voltage doesn't mean there's enough amperage... Don't ask how I learned this... it wasn't the easy way, for sure.

geoff. Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 This happened to me. At the back of the drum are perforations in the metal. The heating elements sit behind the perforations. Lint gets stacked up and clogs them. Mine was about halfway. I used a bent coat hanger to poke through EACH perforation and tediously dislodge the lint. Starting from the unclogged holes and going in deeper as the chunks freed up. Here’s the point I can’t stress enough... When you turn the dryer back on to blow out the dislodged lint it must be on air dry. I forgot to turn mine from high to no heat. I realized immediately what I had done, turned off the dryer and opened the door to get licked by the flames before slamming it shut again. Lucky for me that was back in my home draft beer days and I had a spare 5lb CO2 tank within reach. Cranked open the valve and 800lbs of compressed gas nearly blew the tank out of my hands as I extinguished the fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted July 29, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2020 They say a simple little thing like the pop off valve on a hot water heater tank can fail and send the tank through the roof like a rocket. If the heater fails the valve is to let the pressure off if it does not you don't want to be around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I roughnecked in the AR oilfields for a friend's company in the early 70s. The mud pump froze-up. Our driller stood squatted between the pump and the mud pit looking at the pump. The pop-off valve, about the size of a small can, shot off hitting him square on his forehead. It knocked him into the mud pit and we had to fish him out, unconscious. It looked like a cartoon in real life; it knocked him 10-12 feet in the air.
