Common dryer mistakes that could be costing you time and money 

Dryers are workhorses in many households, but improper use can lead to inefficiency, higher energy bills, and repairs. Avoid these common mistakes: 

1. Neglecting lint trap cleaning 

   – A clogged lint trap slows drying and poses a fire hazard. Clean it before every load to improve airflow and efficiency. 

2. Overloading the dryer 

   – Stuffing too many clothes at once prevents proper tumbling, extending drying times and straining the motor. 

3. Using incorrect dryer settings 

   – Not all fabrics require high heat. Over-drying can damage clothes and waste energy. Match the cycle to the fabric type. 

4. Ignoring vent cleaning 

   – Lint buildup in the vent hose reduces airflow, increases drying time, and raises the risk of overheating. Clean the vent every six months. 

5. Skipping regular inspections

   – Loose belts, worn-out rollers, or unusual noises indicate the need for maintenance. Address issues early to avoid bigger problems.
