SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES FOR TUMBLER DRYERS

What types of tumble dryer are there?

The first models of tumble dryers to come onto the market were what are known as vented dryers, and these are among the first models of tumble dryer to have been developed. The warm air is conducted outside through a hose. This necessity is also the biggest disadvantage of this system. Since an opening through a window or a wall has to be made, this solution is used less and less today. In contrast, the condenser dryer works without an explicit exhaust air device. The condensation water that arises during the drying process is collected in a collecting container, which can be emptied after the drying programme has ended. This dryer therefore mainly dissipates warm air, which no longer has to be conducted outside via a discharge pipe. The latest and most energy-efficient type of dryer is the heat pump dryer. However, as the name suggests, this can only be installed in houses that have a heat pump. Here, the air is cooled by a coolant in the heat exchanger and the heat energy is stored and fed back into the heating system.

What should be considered when operating a tumble dryer?

When operating a tumble dryer, the top priority is not to dry too much laundry at once. To achieve a longer lifespan for your tumble dryer, it makes sense to divide the drying process into several stages. At the same time, this also results in the desired drying effect. If you put too much laundry in, the result is that the clothes, towels or bed linen may still feel damp or clammy even after the drying process. If you fill the dryer to the brim, you will not only have a low chance of drying successfully, you will also damage your appliance in the long term. You should also regularly clean the lint filter of your dryer. Fibres collect in it after each drying process. If you don't clean it regularly, in the worst case this can lead to a defect in the built-in filter or your appliance. Furthermore, dirty filters and lint filters can pose health risks.

Changing the filter in a tumble dryer

The lint filter in a tumble dryer should always be cleaned regularly to extend the service life of the appliance and the filter. Otherwise, it may be necessary to replace one or more filters. In the worst case, the entire device may even break down. Regardless of the technology used in your dryer, all devices work with a filter system. The filters ensure that as few fibres as possible enter the interior of the device. While most customers primarily think of the lint filter when it comes to filters, the filter or filters should not be forgotten either. If these filters become clogged, the dryer will no longer work properly. While the drying process may not have the desired effect at the beginning, it can cause more extensive damage to the dryer in the long term. With many manufacturers, you can access the filter via a built-in flap and pull it out of the device. This makes it just as easy to clean as the lint filter. In contrast to the lint filter, however, it was observed whether the deposit can still be removed independently or whether it is necessary to change the filter. In many cases, the filter is an inexpensive replacement part, since it can be a simple flow, especially in modern machines. However, if the filter is not cleaned regularly or replaced when very dirty, the inexpensive spare part can result in an expensive repair. Only use a filter that is the right size for your appliance.
