Several factors could contribute to clothes taking 2 hours to dry in a dryer. These include overloading the dryer, using a lower heat setting, or a clogged lint filter or exhaust vent that inhibits proper airflow. It's also possible that the dryer is not functioning efficiently, in which case it may need maintenance or repair.

What is the energy transformation of a clothes dryer?

Electrical energy is converted to heat in the heating element. It is also converted to magnetic energy in the motor, which is converted into mechanical energy (and turns the drum). If it is a gas dryer, chemical energy is turned to heat at the burner.


Why do your clothes stick together when you take them out the dryer?

Clothes can stick together in the dryer due to static electricity that builds up during the drying process. The tumbling action can also cause fabric fibers to intertwine, leading to clothes becoming entangled. Using dryer sheets or dryer balls can help reduce static electricity and prevent clothes from sticking together.


What happens to your dryer if the load is soaking wet?

If the load is soaking wet, it will take longer to dry in the dryer as the machine will need more time to evaporate the excess moisture. This can put strain on the dryer's motor and heating element as it works harder to dry the clothes. Over time, this extra strain can lead to premature failure of the dryer components.


If you take the clothes out of the dryer partially dry is there any static cling?

If clothes are taken out of the dryer partially dry, there may be less static cling compared to fully dried clothes. Static cling is often more prominent when clothes are completely dried as the lack of moisture can contribute to the buildup of static electricity.

How do i get stains out of clothes that bled in washer?

If the colors of your clothes bled in the washer, don't put them in the dryer. The dryer will set the dye into the clothes. Take the lightly colored items that were stained by the bleeding dye and put them back into the washer without detergent on a hot water cycle.

Washer Dryer Combo?

At last. A 2 in 1 washer and dryer combined. The washer turns into a dryer! No need to transfer clothes from washer to dryer. GE claims to complete a full cycle in 2 hours. There is no need to vent the dryer. The moisture from the clothes goes down the drain instead of an exhaust hose. A 2 in 1 washer/dryer is not new technology. The idea has been around for years but never sold. It wasn’t practical to own one. They didn’t wash or dry very well and a load would take 5 or more hours. These units were popular in Europe because space was very important. This is the first “practical“ 2 in 1 combo that really works well GE claims.


Which is more expensive fossil fuels or solar energy?

It depends on how you use it. If you use a solar close dryer ( a clothes line) it would use less electricity than an electric clothes dryer. But what about your time? If it took you half an hour to hang up and take down the clothes and your time is worth $8 an hour? You could say that the labor cost is $4. If it only took one minute to put the clothes in an electric dryer and the dryer used $1 worth of electricity you would actually save time. And like they say time is money. So there are a lot of ways of looking at it. Solar energy does make a lot of sense when you use it in a remote location where you don't have access to power lines.
