Dryer Maintenance

In normal operation most clothes dryers require very little maintenance. After a number of years of dependable service one can expect to begin replacing wear items such as belts, seals, bearings, door switches and the like. In tandem with vent maintenance it is recommended to have the dryer's internal air passages cleaned and th einside of the cabinet cleaned to remove any lint build-up which could burn if ignited by a spark. The temperature control can be verified by measuring the exhaust temperature. Most dyrers have an internal Hi-Limit thermostat which will turn off the heat if the temperature goes above its safety range. Usually 230-250 degrees F.
