Washer And Dryer Repair - Appliance Repair Questions
1.00Is the apartment maintenance responsible for cleaning the dryer vent?
Q.I don't really have any money at the moment because I bought a washer and dryer and it was delivered today. My dryer is taking over 2 hours to dry clothes... This is the first time I've ever had a washer/dryer hooked up in these apartments so are they responsible for keeping the vents usable for each tenant? I would try to do it myself, but I don't think they would appreciate me climbing on their roof.
A.You need to take this to the Apartment manager and see what they can do. You should be cleaning your own dryer lent trap everytime you use it to prevent fire.
1.00Moving washer and dryer in basement remodel?
Q.We are thinking about moving the washer and dryer in our basement to a more logical spot. This would mean running our pex piping = not a big deal. My concern is more for the dryer - how long can the dryer vent hose be? Ours would likely need to be about 16 feet long to go up the ceiling and back out to the hole that's already there venting outside.
Thanks, George. That's what I figured. Much appreciated.
A.If you use solid vent pipe (not the flex stuff) you will be ok.
Just clean it out once a year.
1.00Help to resolve Kenmore dryer problem in India?
Q.I got Kenmore washer and dryer from USA to India. Washer worked but dryer did n't.. A local electrician tried his best to resolve the problem with no success. Does anyone has any suggestion how to fix this problem ?
A.US washers normally run on 120 Volts. The 50 or 60 Hz probably has no significant effect.
However the dryer would normally run on a 220 Volts four wire circuit. Its probably your electrical circuit that may not have enough power to support it, a tripped circuit or unless you are wiring it wrong. If still no luck you may want to try the following website with full information:

1.00Can i vent my dryer to the water heater in the garage?
Q.I bought a new washer and dryer over the summer and recently noticed some problems with mold in the garage. i did a some research and looking around in my garage, i found out that the installers never installed a vent for the dryer to let the moist air escape the garage.
my question is, is the bigger pipe in the middle of my water heater a vent to the exterior? if so, can i add a T adapter, or whatever you call it, and vent my dryer through there? any and all help is greatly appreciated.
A.No, the dryer need to be vented separately. The water heater vent or flue should not be used for any other purpose.
Doing what you suggest could cause a fire.
Just install a seperate vent for the dryer
1.00Gas clothes dryer not drying help please?
Q.I have a 2004 year Kenmore gas dryer (and washer) front load. The washer is washing (and spinning) fine. The dyer is taking longer and longer to dry. Medium heat 80-90 minutes clothes still wet (not dripping but not close to dry). High heat 60 minutes still damp. Earlier clothes were toast in high heat 30 minutes. I keep the lint tray clean, and last week professionally got my dryer vent cleaned. No improvement. Its only 5 years old. Please advise, serious answers only.
A.Thermol switch may be bad
1.00Can a washer/dryer combo be hooked up to water heater plumbing?
Q.I live in a 600 sq foot condo. Am looking at a ventless washer/dryer combo. My problem is where I can hook it up to water? Can it go in the same closet as the water heater? Or would I have to redo plumbing and put in my bedroom closet?
Oh - also where would it drain.....?
A.Hello Jovi:
If it will fit into the water heater closet you can put it there. If you have a gas water heater, you will need to ensure that there is adequate ventilation for combustion air (usually outside air) and an exhaust fan as well.
You could tie the waste from the washer/dryer to your bathroom waste line, or the kitchen waste line. If either of these lines are close to your water heater closet, you should be OK. If not, you may have to re-think this project. Running water line is not difficult for a trained plumber. The new PEX product makes it quite easy, and PEX is rated for hot or cold water.
1.00How do I clean my homes dryer vent.?
Q.My gas clothes dryer has not been drying good. I called out a repairman to look at the dryer and was told the dryer was fine but that it was not getting good venting and I needed to have the houses dryer vent cleaned. The dryer repair man doesent clean the vents and a seperate company wants $125.00 to clean the vent.
Is there a way I can clean the vent my self?
Thanks
Damon
A.They make a brush for that at home depot or you can use a vaccum

A.They sell a really long brush with a movable handle at Lowes hardware as I'm sure as well as other big box srores..Maybe that will work,they are in the appliance dept..

Washer And Dryer Repair
When it comes to dryer repair, you can avoid the need for regular repairs by keeping the appliance clean and free of lint, and ensuring that the dryer is always properly vented. Never use plastic venting hose to prevent the danger of a fire, and get your vent hose cleaned professionally by a dryer repair service to eliminate any lint accumulation. Common dryer repair problems include a dryer that won't turn on, heats insufficiently or not at all, does not tumble, over heats or makes a lot of noise. In case of a dryer that doesn't work at all, there may not be a lot you can do. In case of a electric dryer, check the power supply to the unit by testing the power receptacle with a voltage tester or an electric appliance. If there is no power to the receptacle, look for a blown fuse or circuit breaker. If there is power to the receptacle, then look to see if the power cord is functioning properly. In case of a gas dryer, make sure that the gas supply to the appliance is turned on by checking the valve at the back of the dryer. Also, double check the main gas supply connection in the house. If your dryer has an electronic ignition, then you may have an ignition problem that must be fixed by a gas dryer repair service.
If your dryer doesn't seem to heat, look if the appliance is getting enough power. Check if it is plugged in properly, and look for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. Check if the main wiring connection has broken or has been burnt. If yes, then both the power cord as well as the terminal block may have to be replaced. In case of gas dryer repairs, where the dryer doesn't heat, check the setting to ensure that it's not on a heat free reading. Also, make sure the gas supply is turned on by checking the valve behind the dryer. Also, check the main gas supply connection in the house. In case your dryer has an electronic ignition, and it's not turning on, call a gas dryer repair service. In case your gas dryer has a pilot light, make sure it's burning, or relight it. If your dryer seems to be too slow, look if there is any obstruction from the vent duct of the dryer to outside. It could also be because of a partially burnt heating element. Call a professional dryer repair service to fix these.
Common washing machine problems involve a machine that doesn't run. In such cases, check the power supply to the unit. In case the motor stops in the middle of the cycle, remove some of the items of clothing from the machine to reduce the load. If the power receptacle is dead, look for a fuse or circuit breaker that's blown. Check the power cord, and replace if necessary. If none of these seem to help, you may have a problem with a washing machine control. Call a professional washer repair service to fix the problem.

I just bought a home and it was bank owned. The bank installed new appliances to sell, but it seems they installed the fridge incorrectly. Will not get cold and styrofoam still attached where I dont think it is supposed to me. I don't want to break anything.

I have a kitchenaide supra microwave / oven. I was cooking and the control panel went black. The microwave light turns on and the oven heats but I can not do anything since the control panel is off. I have to have the breaker off so that the oven stay cold.
