I turned on the dryer sounded weird like the lint was sucked up in the wrong place or something. Now it won't stay on and I don't know if it is for safety or not. I just bought this dryer last year. Can anyone help me with this? Hello, this morning I tried to remove the lint from the trap but it fell in the hole and I fear that there is more lint down the hole and in the vent.

Any suggestions as to what the problem could be? The dryer worked fine before the filter was cleaned.

I opened the dryer to throw in my wet laundry to find that my room mate had apparently washed and dried an entire pack of gum, because it was all over every surface of the inside of the dryer. so, of course, I did the exact wrong thing and sprayed Lysol cleaning spray all over the inside of it, including directly on the back wall, and into the drum holes. It never even occurred to me that Lysol might be flammable until right after I finished cleaning it. Will my dryer ever be safe? How will I know when/if it is safe to use???

Worked great so far. Afterward, I have wiped the inside of the dryer with a soapy cloth. Now I am allowing time to pass before I test a load of old scrub coths. I am concerned about the rubber gasket at the back of the dryer. I thought I would spend 8 to 10 hours on this - so far I just spent an hour. Lesson was learned!

I had someone leave a can of 'dip' in their pocket and it's left heavy residue in the dryer drum. How do you get this out? I, too, have a problem!

Use a scrubbing bubble powerful foam stain remover in a can and spray it to the part were the dirt is. Leave it for 5 minutes and scrub it with a towel. Try as much as possible to remove it.

I accidentally threw a party dress w/sequins into the dryer mix. Now all the sequins are stuck and probably melted, to the inside of the dryer. I'm trying a wet rag now with the dryer on for heat at the moment. Anyone have any suggestions??? Thanks. I don’t have a tip, I have a problem!!
