I’ll warn you in advance ~ this is not a sexy story.
I’ve been having trouble with my laundry lately – well for one I haven’t really done it – too busy. I’ve gathered enough clothing, sheets and towels that I can literally amass an impressive pile before I actually run out of things and have to start a load. That coupled with the fact that I’m not a housework buff (Monica on Friends would find me perplexing) makes the act of doing laundry a fairly infrequent happinstance.
The other issue is that my dryer – which is an LG Tramm (about 3 years old) has been taking longer and longer to dry the clothes. It heats them quite efficiently, and last night it actually baked them dry over the span of 5 hours. Over the past few weeks now, thinking back, linens and quilts have been less fluffy feeling and towels have had a tendency to go sour fairly quickly.
I cleaned out the lint trap very thoroughly with a vacuum, and when that didn’t work stomped the floor a few times, then cursed the appliance.
This morning I made a trip to the basement – my least favorite place in this house (there are a lot of strange critters down there) – and checked out the exhaust duct.
