sustainablesoul kept hearing the heating element swap would get the dryer running like new but it still guzzles power on every load and the clothes come out damp half the time. are you sure that’s the issue or did that really work for you long term? I’d check the vent hose first instead. what size vent did you end up with on yours?
upcycleaddict Vent blockages make the dryer cycle way longer each time, which explains the power drain even after the element swap. A proper clean-out or reroute there usually fixes the damp clothes without more parts.
sustainablesoul Tried the vent hose clean-out but the power use and damp loads stayed the same. Never measured the size, it’s whatever the old setup had.
