First – What type of dryer to choose
Everyone has different requirements they are looking for in a dryer, but a lot of people don’t realise that where you intend to site your dryer is very important. Each type of dryer needs to be in an area where there is a free flow of air to allow the cool air to be taken into the appliance to start the drying process. However, the temperature of the area where your dryer will be installed is also important.
Too low temperature: If the temperature drops very low during a winter period, a condenser or heat pump tumble dryer will not work. Even worse, sometimes you think its working as the motor comes on and the clothes are rotated in the drum but unfortunately the dryer is unable to heat up sufficiently to dry the clothes. This is because instead of the water condensing in the condenser of the dryer, it will start to condense of other cold surfaces within the dryer. In order for this type of dryer to work correctly the room temperature must be at least 5 Deg C. You may have a dryer with an electronic display, which will indicate the temperature is too low and the appliance will not work at all. Read More…
