How long does it take to dry clothes in a electric dryer?
Q. I have had a electric dryer for 3 years but i never used it because it takes forever to dry. I made sure that the lint compartment had no lint and there were nothing blocking the air flow.Maybe i'm just impatient and it takes longer for electric dryer to dry clothes. How long does it usually take to dry one load of clothes? Yah i forgot to add, the clothes were in the spin cycle and the dryer says 398 kwh/per year

A. Depends on how wet the cloths are and how big of a load you put in there...If it`s a big load of jeans of towels I would say 45 min. You might want to make sure you have it on the correct setting. Make sure if is heating ok...

What should I do about a electric dryer that is on my breaker box but is used by all the tenants in the bldg?
Q. I live in an apartment with three units. We have a shared washer and dryer in the basement. We all split the water bill but pay our own electric bills. I noticed that the electric dryer is on my electric. Do I approach the landlord regarding this or just suck it up?

A. first depending what state you are in the hook up is most likely illegal, call your local electric company and inquire into the legality then what i would do is most likely the dryer is on its own breaker in the box, i would just throw the breaker and cut it off until it is resolved

A. If you have gas close to your laundry facility, go with gas. It is so much more gentle on your clothes. Of course price will vary with natural gas prices, electric prices don't jump around as much...yet. An electric dryer is cheaper to purchase (if I remember correctly) which is why so many more are sold than gas. Remember you have the cost of installing gas to the dryer as an extra expense. Electric you can plug in yourself

can I hook an electric dryer into a plug that an electric stove was in?
Q. I got an electric dryer. I have a plug that was where the electric stove was. is there an amp or ohm difference? will there be a danger?
Asked by ptcruisher2001 - Sat Nov 21 20:51:45 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There is an amp difference... dryers are typically 30 amp (check the plate on the back of yours to verify), while electric stoves are usually 40 amp. The plug is different too. A dryer plug will not fit into an outlet made for a stove. If the location is where you want it, you can easily change the 40 amp breaker (replace it with a 30 amp breaker), and plug, and use the existing wire without any problems (assuming the wire is in good shape). If the dryer has the old 3 prong wire cord, this is a good time to upgrade it to the 4 wire cord while you're at it. All of the parts can be found at your local hardware or building supply store. I would shut off the breaker to the circuit, replace the outlet, then shut off the main circuit… [cont.]

A. Look at the tags to see how much it will cost to use the dryer for a year. Compare the cost of the electricity and gas in your area to the cost. You should be able to figure out which will have the lower cost to operate. That is the one you should buy. If you are just looking at "efficiency" then stick with gas.

A. Yes, you will have to have a special outlet for the dryer. Dryers use 220 volts and regular wall outlets supply 110 volts. There should be a valve on the gas line and all that would be required would for you to turn it off, if there is no valve then you will need a plumber to cap off the line or preferably install a valve. You will also need to call an electrician to install a new 220 volt circuit for the dryer.

A. You cannot change the receptacle back to a 3-prong and, to my knowledge, they do not make an adapter that changes the dryer cord's 3-prong configuration to the receptacle's 4-prong configuration. To change your dryer cord from a 3-wire to a 4-wire you first need to disconnect the old dryer cord, then disconnect the bonding jumper on your dryer. The bonding jumper is either a metallic strap (typically copper or copperclad) or a green wire that is connected between your dryer's neutral (white wire) terminal and the green ground screw connected to your dryer's frame.

Electric Dryer Wall Outlet not getting 220V?
Q. I have a 2 year electric dryer that stopped getting hot during the drying cycle and the timer stopped working. I replaced the thermal fuse and the thermostats and that didnt fix anything. Got a 2nd dryer and hooked it up and it is doing the exact same thing. It would run, turn and blower fan would blow but no heat and the timer wouldnt work. I grabbed a voltmeter and checked the voltage in the outlet. 1 side would read 125 VAC and the 2nd would read 42 VAC. Shouldnt both read 125VAC? Im not an electrician so i need some help. Do the outlets actually go back? I checked the breakers and they are all apparently working properly. I need to find out why im not getting full voltage to the dryer wall outlet. Any advice?
Asked by James C - Mon Jul 23 22:35:58 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You should be getting the same voltage on both legs..about 110 on each side to make 220. One side of your breaker may be bad, you should be able to get another one for about 10 or 15 dollars unless it is something like a Federal Pacific Breaker of something. One of your wires may have a problem with it. If you have full power at your panel then your problem is between the panel and the dryer. You are going to have to troubleshoot and trial and error until you figure it out.

My electric dryer just became extremely LOUD! Is there a way to fix this problem?
Q. Maytag electric dryer is approximately 15 years old and has given me no problems. It still dries the clothes but the noise is almost unbearable

A. it can be as simple as something fell into blower housing under lint filter, that would sound like an airplane, constant noise. other would sound like a thumping when tub turns/rollers are bad. the belts idler pulley if it breaks will give you a grinding noise from hitting motor shaft. take just the lower front panel off and try to see whats going on, if you have a seperate panel. good luck!
