Can you use bounce dryer sheets in the new energy efficient Kenmore dryers?

The dryer is going to heat up enough to dry the clothes and that's all it takes for the dryer sheets to work.


When did the dryer come out?

In the early 1800s, prototype clothes dryers were first starting to be invented in England and France. One common kind of early clothes dryer was the ventilator, made by a Frenchman named Pochon. It was a barrel-shaped metal drum with holes in it that was turned by hand over a fire. One early American patent for a clothes dryer was granted to George T. Sampson on June 7, 1892. Sampson's dryer used the heat from a stove to dry clothes and was another type of ventilator machine.


Can i use a 7 watt night light bulb instead of a 10 watt appliance bulb in your dryer?

What may happen is the 7W bulb may burn out quickly because of the dryer heat. I suppose worse case might be an exploding 7W bulb that would ignite lint and cause a dryer fire. You should always use what is recommended by the manufacturer.


Does a clothes iron generate enough heat to activate heat-shrink tubing?

IT probably would but you would have to make direct contact which might cause the heat-shrink to shrink unevenly or get flattened. It is usually better to blow hot air at it while you rotate it. A good hair dryer might work equally well. ------ Neither a hair dryer, nor a clothes dryer will work for shrinking most conventional heat shrink tubing. The most common types: PVC and Polyolefin require temperatures of greater than 100C (the boiling point of water). A clothes iron will; however you'll melt the tubing with direct contact, and it will mess up your iron. If you don't own a heat gun, you'll be fine using a cigarette lighter.
