Cleaning the Sensor
The sensor completion of the dryer is an essential component. Here's how to complete the cleaning process: Make sure the machine is unplugged and not in use before cleaning. If the machine has just been used, let it cool down first.
You can clean the sensor by wiping it with a soft cloth soaked in diluted vinegar or salt water, then wipe dry and repeat twice to ensure safety. Cleaning should be done every three months and strong cleaning solutions should not be used due to the risk of damage, fire, or explosion.
Cleaning the Water Tank
It's important to empty the condensate reservoir after each use of the clothes dryer, especially if you live in a rainy area. To clean the reservoir, you'll need to remove the filter from the machine (while ensuring the machine is turned off), drain the water, and then replace the filter.
Maintaining the Ventilation System
Manufacturers recommend cleaning the steam vent system of the dryer after every 20 loads. Clean the steam vent system by turning off the machine and power, unlocking the vent four times, removing the disc, and then removing the steam tank. Use a high-pressure water spray to clean the tank.
Rearranging the Drying Rack
The drying racks need to be cleaned after each use as they come into direct contact with clothes. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the outside of the drying rack.
Cleaning the Exterior of the Machine
The exterior appearance of the machine will make your home brighter and fresher. Keeping the exterior clean will keep the machine looking like new and prevent it from fading or breaking over time. To clean, spray a soft cloth with appropriate cleaner, wipe the surface thoroughly, and finally dry with a clean cloth.
Conclusion
A clothes dryer is a widely used appliance, especially during rainy seasons and humid days. However, to ensure its longevity and optimal performance, regular and proper cleaning is essential. We hope this article helps you understand how to properly clean your Electrolux clothes dryer.
