The Virtual Repairman's Appliance Help

[Jai]

I have not seen this problem listed or answered. Dryer problem is that, even after spinning clothes 2nd time, clothes do not seem to come out dry, even in "timed dry" at 60 minutes or more. Questions: is there a way to bypass or fool the machine about the water level? Why exactly do the clothes not feel "spun" after spinning? Dryer question: why does it take so long to dry? (It does seem to heat well; new dryer lint hose was installed, metal/material type, to bucket, not vertical.) Any help or info is greatly appreciated!

If your washer is not always spinning out properly, the dryer may not be able to handle the bulky water contents of a soggy load. If the clothes feel too wet after washing, then put them into an extra spin cycle to get rid of all the water you can before placing them in the dryer.


Why Dryers Take Too Long to Dry

Also, you should NEVER vent a dryer into a bucket (indoors). It should be vented outside, either thru a window or with the proper plumbing. A bucket vent is a restrictive device. If you don't believe it, disconnect the vent entirely and run a test load. See the following video:
