SOURCE: Clothes Dryer tripping house circuit breaker

If it is breaking the main circuit of the house there is something wrong. It should throw the breaker to the dryer only. It sounds like you are having a problem with a short between the main breaker and sub panel in the house. Is there any way you can move the breaker in the panel to a different place on the same panel to see if it is that circuit only. If not check the outlet and the plug on the dryer and make sure the wiring is connected correctly.

SOURCE: my dryer get to hot is simpson maxidry 505

sounds like it needs to be cleaned out,check outside to seeif the flapper is blowing open or if it is clogged with lint,if you have a leaf blower take vent line off of back of dryer and blow it out,vac inside of dryer and clean out the lint filter duct,if it's gas you should do this every year so you don't have a fire,electric every two years

SOURCE: Simpson Maxidry Tumble dryer (Cloths dryer) How

Hi there, There is a switch at the bottom of the dryer. It has a groove for the spring to fit around. Then the spring goes through the metal tag with the holes in the pulley. The pulleys 2 prongs then fits into the slot near the motor. The belt goes through the pulley and around the motor wheel. When fitting the drum, tape the belt at three points on the drum with the machine door facing down making installation easier. Once installed remove the tape. The dryer now works like a dream. See the attached photo. Good Luck!8e72e75.jpg

Simpson maxidry 362 dryer not heating, everything else seems ok

Two things to check. First, check for any lint in the screen or lint build up in the exhaust. this will restrict airflow. Secondly, check to see if the heating element is bad.

Hi, My Simpson maxidry 456 dryer, heats up and appears to work, gets hot and cuts out. It is steaming the clothes but does not dry them. Would this be a fan problem, How can i fix it? Ta!

9 out of 10 times this is going to be a restriction in your vent line. Check where it goes outdoors and see if there is a steady flow of warm air. If not, take the vent off of the wall behind the dryer and either have a handyman snake it clear to the outside or take a leaf blower and blow it clear. A good way to test for a restriction before doing all of this is to run a cycle with the vent disconnected from the back of the dryer. The steam is a result of the hot wet air from the clothes having nowhere to go. Good luck =)

Yes - the vent exhausts humid air, and draws IN fresh dry air. So the humid air is staying trapped in your unit.
