  • @Tricia_JoElle
    @Tricia_JoElle Před 19 hodinami

    These are great! Very useful. Keep in mind, though.... HD dryers have a sensor telling the machine if the air flow is slow in exiting. This will cause the temp to go down as a precaution. I got a new house with an HD. I put one of these vents on the back, as with all of my previous dryers. Eventually I noticed that the dryer wasn't getting very hot. Finally, after taking 2 hours to dry a load of towels.... I called a repairman. he told me that there is an air flow sensor in most HD units. Mine sensed a slower flow due to the sharp turn, and automatically lowered the temp. He put a normal vent tube on it and I had my hot air back! it is not a danger with the air flow, while using the unit shown in the video. It's the high tech idiots who have to add all the BS on the new appliances. So if your temp goes down a bit after installing one, take it off, put a normal one on (with dryer pulled away from wall) and see if there's a difference... before calling a $100/visit from repairman.

      More clean up for you and you buying a new dryer more frequently.

    Nice upgrade. Also the snake of extra tubing has a habbit of slowing down the exhaust and collecting a whole bunch of lint. Then you start noticing that the clothes take a lot longer to dry burning up electricity. This is what I experienced with my setup. I will do this upgrade in the near future.

That new vent system you installed will also make it extremely easy to clean it using the cleaning kits that are available to clean with the dryer in place.

    Looks much better with the MV. The dryer vent is a point of ingress for rats and mice. I would recommend a bead of silicon around the vent where it meets the wall. And (as you said) a screen or vent cover on the outside ,
