I usually have to run it twice. Our laundry room is in the middle of the house so I have no idea where the vent goes. I know where it ends up. Maybe I'll get the DH to convince our landlord to pay for half of the fee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loud-dryer-help#post-2264723 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 21:19:56 +0000 charlotte 2264723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see that all the husbands are doing the vent cleaning! Perhaps I should just send him up there to see what he can do...haha. He did clean the gutters once... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loud-dryer-help#post-2264666 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 18:34:19 +0000 Andrea 2264666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, try and clean the vent. Our dryer was taking forever to dry a load of clothes, like 4 hours, and DH cleaned the vent. Problem solved! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loud-dryer-help#post-2264628 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 17:08:55 +0000 Travelinmoon 2264628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This just happened to us. while I was out shopping for a new dryer my DH cleaned out our vent and lo and behold our dryer is perfect again. Took him about an hour and he came down with a bucket full of lint, bird nest and unfortunately a bird. Our dryer is good as new now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loud-dryer-help#post-2264613 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 16:30:13 +0000 charlotte 2264613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BeachMama: I am so impressed! I wish we were that handy. We don't have an attic and I don't really trust DH on an outdoor ladder, ha, so we have to wait for the people to come clean it. I definitely want that done as the first step either way because it hasn't been done in 2 years, possibly as long as 8 years and the fire risk scares me. </p> <p>Im still not convinced it will fix the noise though, ugh. I've actually laid a ton of clothes out to dry flat or hanging lately to avoid hearing it and I feel like a colonial woman. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loud-dryer-help#post-2264587 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 15:07:50 +0000 BeachMama 2264587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how handy you or DH is, but my DH just cleaned our vent which goes thru the attic to the roof himself with a tool he bought at Home Depot. Our dryer wasn't noisy before that but now works SO much better. It's also a huge fire hazard to have the vent clogged up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loud-dryer-help#post-2264472 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 11:31:46 +0000 charlotte 2264472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last week, out of nowhere, our dryer started vibrating VERY loudly. Called the repairman and he told me there's nothing wrong with the dryer and that the air vent on top of the house (most people have it on the side of theirs) probably needs to be cleaned out. The people who do that haven't called me back yet...</p> <p>Does anyone have experience with this? It doesn't seem right to me but I'm obviously no expert. Im so annoyed drying anything because it's on our bedroom level and way too loud whether we are awake or asleep. Andddd at 36 weeks pregnant I would really like to be washing and drying baby stuff. :sad: </p>
