How long does fungicide take to dry,,,
Comments (6)Redsox, today must be the day to spray. My local rose buddy and I discussed this same topic today on the phone because she sprayed around 9 a.m. and I sprayed about 12:30 p.m. Then around 2:30 p.m. the sky clouded over. I told her that she should be O.K., cause if she's not then I'm definitely not! Too, funny!...See Morehow long should it take to dry a man's Tshirt?
Comments (9)Something is being missed. Your vent is clear, you say; your exhaust air is blowing 155, you say: and your cotton/poly T-shirts take 45 minutes. That's what you've said. Assuming that clear vent is nominal 4", either you've chosen the wrong cycle, you've grossly overloaded the machine, or what you're telling us in error. I continue to suspect error. You said you clear the vent opening outside and "hose" is brand new. What you didn't say is that the vent-path between the "hose" and the outside outlet is verified clear. For proper operation you need free/clear 4" all the way. No hose-kinks, no clumps of stuff in the middle, no frozen flappers. If you've got a clear 4" vent of reasonable length (how long is it?) and a new dryer blowing 155F, and are not over-loading, it's more or less impossible for your dryer loads to take that long. Only other thing I can think of is final spin-cyle from your washing machine. Is your laundry well spun-out or is it going into the dryer still sopping? Surely you can understand my skepticism based on what you've said to date....See MoreDryer taking forever to dry!
Comments (7)My bet is on a dirty exhaust duct. Clean it yourself or have it cleaned, and your drying time will be reduced. I have a very long and twisted exhaust run for my dryer, and the dry time increases noticeable as lint builds up in the duct. Even though it feels like a good bit of air is coming out of the outside vent, cleaning the duct makes a huge difference. I believe it is recommended to be done every year. Also, flexible plastic duct should be replaced with rigid or bendable metal ducts. Plastic and foil hoses can trap lint and create a fire hazard. Joe...See MoreUnsolved dryer problem
Comments (5)If the issue ends up being your house vent and you own a leaf blower try this... put the nozzle of your leaf blower into the vent where the dryer normally hooks up. Wrap a couple old towels around the blower nozzle to seal off the vent and then turn on the blower. In most cases this will do a pretty good job of cleaning out the vent pipe. While your at it check outside where the vent exits and check to see if the hood is not smashed and the little flap door is opening freely and not blocked or stuck....See MoreKendrah
