How to Improve the Lifespan of your Clothes Dryer

Most of the problems in a dryer are caused by poor air circulation inside of the dryer. The dryer will suck air from the outside, pass it through the heating source, and then through the clothes to dry them. When the exhaust air is restricted due to a kinked hose, a bad blower wheel, or a hose full of lint, the dryer will use a lot of energy to try to dry the clothes. Sometimes the user will need to run the dryer two times to get the laundry dry. If you are having problems with your dryer taking too long to dry the clothes, check the exhaust hose to see if that is the cause of your problem.

1.	Disconnect the hose from the dryer and use the dryer for a couple loads. If the clothes are being dried properly with the hose disconnected, the problem is on the hose, between behind the dryer to the outside of the house.
2.	Remove and make sure that the hose is clean or install a new hose.
3.	After installing the hose, turn the dryer on regular and go outside and make sure that you get a good air flow to the outside.
