Hello, my dryer stopped working. Master came to fix it and he found that the sock was caught in the blower wheel of the driver. As he explained the ONLY ONE way it could happened is that I dried clothing without the lint filter. Which is not possible since I never been drying clothing without the filter. Can you please tell me is it any other way for sock to get into the blower wheel? And how to prevent that happening? Would like to avoid the same situations in future Thank you Lena
Lena Poltavets there is really no other way. It will all of course depend on your dryer’s exact make and model but in general, the air is drawn through the lint screen down a duct in the front of the dryer, where it then enters the fan. So the sock must have somehow gotten past the lint screen into the duct. Gremlins are always a possibility :-)
Check the back of the machine for an opening slender enough for a sock to get in. Also, the bottom of the machine is often open to the floor. Tilt the machine and check. Of course small children and gremlins are a possibility.
