Explorder3211, in my opinion. On your grandmother's dryer, I would open it up to see if there is any damage to it. If it is no damage or if it is a minor damage I would repair it, and still use the dryer. |

There is a good chance nothing really bad happend; those fans are built to be run with a fair amount of lint build up on them. Just unplug it, take it apart and look. You're going to want to look carefully for every piece of sponge - flammable - but it probably did less damage being such a big thing then if a small piece of foam rubber had fallen in and lodged in one section of the fan. Oh, nearly forgot. While I was unpacking the over the stove microwave for my folks a few months back, my cat "helped" by scratching at the foam bead packaging for the glass.. I missed one single bead, ONE, of packaging. Not even 1/4", polystyrene. It landed in the squirlcage blower, of course. The noise was so loud, you wouldn't believe it. I thought the whole fan was shot...nope, just this teeny-tiny little piece of soft plastic. It could easily be similar - the sponge got tossed into a corner and only a little sliver is stuck in the fan. |
