Our Whirlpool dryer is now eight years old. After four years I had the door lock replace with Velcro closures. Last year was the durchgeknallt noise filter and a new thermostat was needed.
recently piled up again once the disturbances. The Whirlpool's engineers have made exactly two exceptions: "Cleaning the lint filter" and "waste water tank empty". Our dryer was "clean lint filter" after a short period. The fluff was sparkling clean. After a short investigation it was clear what I wanted to say, the dryer actually: "The air flow is too hot, maybe that's full of fluff, perhaps there is something else plugged." On the web I found a nice instructions for how I can disassemble the dryer to the place penetrate, where so much muck collected after many years has that air no longer circulates properly.
A few hours of work and I had reached the core. The dirt was removed quickly. had left deposits of fine felt, the generations of socks, towels and sheets. A little chalk was also there - a popular addition of detergent. It was late at night and I really wanted to move the assembly to the next day. But then I would rather put equal to go. That was a mistake.
was an hour later, I move no further forward. The lid of the Doppellüfterrad-engine combination did not want to connect more with the best intentions. Herauszuzerren it was still been just as possible. I was retching into it any more. An irreversible process. Violence was no solution. The front fan is bent and a few pieces of plastic were broken off already. In desperation, I tried one last action with the aid of a rubber hammer - without success.
Unnerved I gave up. I did not want to make more crooked for a bunch of scrap with a residual value of some €. A few days was the scrap pile in my basement. It gnawed at my conscience. The cost of a new device would amount to four hundred €. In January will contact the tax office. The insurance company has announced the annual rate. Blank cashier everywhere.
Tonight I had the scrap heap once again led to heart. After I had solved the side walls, I managed to bend the front wall to the front. It found more room for the installation of the refractory cover. Although I had to turn around for a long time fan of the twisted, but I finally was able to close the lid so that the wheel itself - could turn almost free - except for two points. An hour later Dryer was the complete re-assembled. I was confident. And I was right - the dryer is working again! He is a little louder than before, the fan wheel grinds a bit. And it's a little tight, a little water runs out from under him, but he was already leaking.
So I saved four hundred € and in the encounter against Ulf Bauknecht, it is now 0-3!
