One of the most important dryer parts is the dryer lint filter. This removes the lint form the clothes during the drying process. It located in different parts of the machine depending on the model and brand. The video attached shows how to change and clean the filter on a Electrolux product which is a Simpson clothes dryer. The same filter is used on the, Simpson Sirocco, Simpson Ezi Set, Minimax and the Simpson Maxidry.

As the lint filter is a critical part cleaning and changing the filter on your clothes dryer will eliminate and number of problems that can occur when your filter is dirty, these are:

  • Take a longer period to dry the clothes
  • Increase in power usage due to the longer drying period
  • One of the most important is the risk of fire due to a blocked or dirty lint filter.

Is your Dryers Blower Belt Broken or Stretched?

One of the most common problems on the Simpson clothes dryers is that the rear blower belt either stretches or breaks. This can happen over time and will reduce the manner in which the dryer operates. The belt is easy to change and does not require a great deal of knowledge, so any one can carry out their own clothes dryer repairs. Below is a video on how the change the dryer belt.

When fitting the belt it can seem very tight, this is standard and should not be a concern.

The blower belt is available at www.mrappliance.com.au as well a s a full range of other appliance spare parts to suit a wides range of brads and models

So you are looking to gain more space in the laundry and you have decided to hang your clothes dryer on the wall. To do this you need the correct wall bracket for your dryer. Depending on your dryer there are two types of parts available, one is for machines that have a horizontal slot at the rear and the other is for dryers that have vertical slots.

The best way to determine what bracket your dryer requires is to check the back. Clothes dryer brands such as Westinghouse, Fisher and Paykel, Kleenmaid and Hoover require vertical style brackets. Other dryers such as the Simpson Minimax, Maxidry and Sirroco require the horizontal style bracket.

We have put together a video to show the differences and how to determine the bracket style you require.

If you are not able to determine what is the right bracket style for your clothes dryer then call us and we will be happy to assist. you can see the two dryer brackets available at www.mrappliance.com.au we stock a full range of dryer parts for all the leading brands.

The lint filter is a critical part of a washing machine. The purpose of it is to collect the lint that is removed from the clothes as they are being washed. It stops the lint from entering the washers pump. This is important because when lint enters the washing machine pump it increases the work load on the unit and can reduce its life.

 The lint filter also helps protect the environment by stopping lint entering the public sewage system.

Blocke Lint Filter

Blocked Lint Filter

As part of regular maintenance and care of your clothes dryer, cleaning the lint filter after you have used it is an important habit to get into. Not only will it ensure the dryer works to its optimum at all times it will reduce the risk of a fire in your home due to an overloaded lint filter.

When your dryer’s lint filter becomes plugged or blocked, it limits the ability of the dryer to exhaust hot air. This can cause the dryer to become over heated and increases the risk of a fire. Most dryers are fitted with a overload switch however this should not be relied upon, as a clogged lint filter will also result in increased power usage due to the longer period of time it will take to dry your clothes.

The best approach is to carry out preventative action by ensuring the dryer filter is cleaned after ever use and that hot air can exhaust for the clothes dryer unrestricted.

In the event the dryers lint filter is damaged due to holes or just worn out, new ones can be purchased from www.mrappliance.com.au.
