The heating unit went out of my dryer! The repairman went in to
the dryer and 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 and
ran hot water over it. Now, this thing is like a mesh-I'm sure you know what
your dryer's lint filter looks like - WELL......the hot water just laid 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 and 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 and wash it with hot soapy water and an
old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that
mak! es 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, thought I'd share! </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Arial Narrow"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>Note: I went to dryer and tested my
screen by running water on it. The water collected a little but ran though
the screen. I dried it off and was ready to put it back in the dryer since
the water ran through it but, I thought was the heck it won't hurt to wash
it while I had it out. Warm soapy water and a nylon brush and I had
it done in 30 seconds. I then ran the water over the screen and what a
difference the water just gushed through it with no puddling at all and
this time I was running the water at a faster rate. That repairman knew
what he was talking about.</span></font></p>
