Loose connection, bad connection, they're are a few things that can be wrong. Shut the power down and open that up and check it out. The connection might be heating up. If that looks like the case, cut back and restripp the wires so you'll get a nice clean connection and install a new outlet. If everything looks good then consult an electrition because a dryer outlet can be a little warm but definately not hot.
The usual reason for wires heating up is that they are sized too small for the current the load is demanding. Dryers are fed with #10 wire rated at 30 amps with a 30 amp breaker at the house panel end. Wire smaller that this, #12 or #14 will definitely heat up to a point where the insulation could melt off and the wires short out. Get a qualified electrician to check on this condition before something drastic happens.
who invented the clothes dryer that used heat from the stove
G T Sampson invented the clothes dryer
Any dryer that has a low-knits or no heat setting is best to not shrink clothes.
It evaporates quicker with the heat.
Perhaps because it uses heat to dry the clothes.
Clothes shed so much when you put them in the dryer because the dryer is extremely hot and because they were just wet from the washer and you place them in the dryer the heat drys all the wetness which can over dry the clothes and they can shrink
You would only see air from the dryer vent if the outside air was cooler or colder than the vented heat.
This is usually the result of a clogged exhaust hose.
A gas dryer uses natural gas to heat air which is then passed through a rotating drum which tumbles the clothes through the heated air.
No it is only heat and air. It is too much detergent that bonds to the fibers and pulls them together, thus shrinking the overall size. Not the dryer unless the clothes are left in too long and the heat damages the fibers.
no. it's the tumbling action in a washing machine or a dryer that shrinks the clothes. so heat doesn't shrink it.
