Why do i see fireworks forth-coming? 
~when loaded to the max, often didn't dry stuff 100% in one cycle. 1- automatic (sensor) cycles sometimes do this with small loads [not the case here, apparenlty] and with heavy items. 2- auto-dry (mechanical) time-tmeperature cycles) will do this if with bulky thick items like coats, blankets and rugs 3- Is the dryer TOO full? 4- if this is a new occurence, is the vent hose clean and unobstructed? is the vent hood by the houe operable and opening fully? Have you tried a timed cycle or more time? Also if the dryer is in an unheated or cold location it may not dry sufficiently. Just remember- ask 10 people you will get 12 opinions. Good luck! | ||

....and now to answer your question... See if you can find a Maytag Dependable care dryer. NOT the new Whirlpool, but the last of the Maytags. Go to a Maytag dealer. We still have a few left here in Roanoke, Va. Mark | ||

I've always liked our Whirlpool dryer. Had it since 93' with not a problem or repair at all. It's the one with the large lint filter in the top. It runs quietly and really dries the clothing nicely without overdrying it. | ||

GE dryers are still made by GE using a 55+ year old design. For the price, they're solid, fast and dependable. If it were me, I'd buy a gas version with Electronic control (yes, they work and very well I might add) and the "Anti-Bacterial" option. Just because gas is faster and cheaper. I would also follow ALL venting advice given above. If you don't care about burning your house down, you may care about CO poisoning (from gas dryers) and the extra fuel you'll burn while you do it.

Vents We even opted for metal ducting for a european 230V electric miele dryer. Much prefer the idea and it's not even that expensive compared to plastic ducting. | ||
