Semi Automatic Washing Machine Dryer Problems

- Overheating: Sometimes the thermostat or the thermal fuse prevents a fire that causes dryer overheating. Besides, electrical overload, defective assembling can be the reasons your semi-automatic washing machine dryer getting more heat than needed.
- Not turning on: Without enough power or energy, even I can’t move well. If your machine’s dryer is keeping your washed clothes wet, then probably there’s a shortage of energy. Faulty outlet, tripped circuit breaker, mechanical timers, knobs, etc. can be also the reason for the improper service of the dryer.
- Time-consuming dryer: If you keep the machine turned on for hours and hours, it will lose its standard speed of drying the clothes. Continuous heating weakens the heating element of the dryer. Your dryer will get overheated for this reason. There can be no heat or less heat from the dryer.

- Now, it’s time to clean all the washing agents such as detergent, soap, bleach, softener for fabric and other additives. Rinse the cups with water if your machine supports the easy removal feature of cups.

This will eradicate the buildups of soap and fabric residues. The solution of hot water and around 2 cups of white vinegar would do better to remove the residues. Bleach can be an alternative to vinegar. But I am not recommending you to use bleach because there’s a chance to harm the rubber gaskets.
