If it shuts down and then restarts after being off awhile the problem is most likely the over temperature switch. Cleaning the lint from the back of the dryer and the exhaust vent may correct the problem, if not you may have to replace the switch.

If the airflow through the trap slows down, the hot exhaust air is trapped inside the machine. The dryer has an internal heat trip what will shut down the dryer if the internal temperature heat gets too high

Where should you put a hair dryer holder?
You would want to place it in a location that was easy to access and had an electric supply while remembering to keep the hair dryer plug away from all water sources.
What is the difference between an electric dryer and an electric steam dryer?
None of the above. Please don't get trapped in that mindset that you must have an appliance to dry your clothes. For one thing, a dryer, gas or electric, beats the crap out of your clothes! Yes they give it a nice, easy, gentle name.....they call it "tumbling" but really it's beating the crap out of your clothes. Look at the lint that comes out of the lint trap next time you clean it. That was part of your clothes. How many times do you think you can do this to your clothes? Soon there will be nothing left of them, maybe you can knit a sweater from the lint you have collected. Folks, the best clothes dryer in the world is a piece of rope and some wooden spring clamps (clothespins) I would suggest hanging your clothes in a shaded area, as direct sun will fade colors over time. You can also hang them inside, like in the basement, or a spare bedroom. Your clothes will not dry as fast as with a dryer, of course, BUT..... after the initial cost of the rope and clothespins, it is free. There's your efficiency that you are wanting, right there! In the winter you are already heating the air in your home, and the moisture from the clothes is usually much needed. A clothes dryer is one of the biggest energy-suckers you have in your home, and then what happens to all that hot and moist air??? it gets blown outside of course. But that is another discussion topic. Do yourself a big favor, and air dry your clothes, they will last longer, and you will save a heap of money. yes, it may be inconvenient at times, but a great man once said, "In order to conserve, we must be inconvenienced to some degree." Now to answer your question properly, that is, if electric or gas are the only allowed answers, and by "most efficient" you don't mean least expensive, In both cases, efficiency is affected by airflow, or lack of airflow. Keep the filters clear of lint. One by-product from the combustion of liquified petroleum (propane) is water.... moisture.... so just from burning the gas to make heat your are taking away some of the hot air's ability to absorb moisture. in that regard, gas is less efficient, but just to a slight degree. Electricity is 100% efficient at the point of use, your home, but one must think about, how efficient was the electric plant that produced the electricity... and how effieciently was this power transmitted to your home? but. i guess that is neither here nor there, since the electricity you pay for is measured as it goes into your house wiring, so the electric company in the end pays for the inefficiency of it generating and distribution network. but still, something to think about. So to answer the question.................Electric............definitely ELECTRIC :)
What temperature do you put the washer on so it won't shrink your clothes?
For the proper laundering of your clothes read the care label. That's usually sewn in at the neckline in the back or on a side seam. If for some reason the care label is missing, cold water would be a good choice. However remember that its not so much the washer that shrinks your clothes, its the dryer. Keep the dryer on low and remove the clothes promptly.

Diminish Extra Spending On An Electric Bill?
A high electric bill can be devastating to a family's monthly budget. In order to pay the high electric bill, the family may have to do without another necessity. There are ways to cut back on the amount of electricity used. Every person in the household will have a role in reducing the high electric bill. Make a list of appliances that are on when not being used and make a commitment to turn them off. Do not leave lights on in an empty room. When possible, air dry clothes instead of using a clothes dryer and only use the washing machine to wash full loads of clothes. During cold winter months, ensure doors and windows are adequately sealed to keep warm air in. Turn the thermostat down a couple of degrees and put on a sweater if cold. During the summer months, keep blinds and shades closed to keep out the hot sunlight. Each of these tips can add up to a significant dollar amount and will ultimately reduce a high electric bill.
