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.

Why wont your Electric Clothes dryer turn on anymore?
Assuming your dryer blower does run, then you must have one of the phases dropping out. Check all electrical connections at the breaker or fuse box, dryer receptacle, and wiring going into the dryer.

What do you do when your brother went into a dryer and wont come out?
My guess is that your brother is about 2, and if this is true you need to go tell the adult watching you and then stand close to the dryer to make sure he is OK. Don't argue with him, don't beg him to come out, don't try to pull him out, but you want to make sure he is safe. He will come out as soon as he thinks no one wants him out. Make sure the door to the dryer is open so he can get out. Little kids do this sort of thing because they get get an "idea" or wonder what it would be like. Just be cool calm and get a toy he likes to play with a little ways from the dryer. He'll hear you and forget his reason for getting into the dryer.
