check that vent
Gary, the photo showing the overheated-discolored area on the rear of the dryer is often a tell-tale sign of poor air flow. This can usually be traced to a restricted exhaust vent. I noticed in the pic with the new machine, there is white vinyl vent tubing. NOT GOOD. Should be metal tubing as short and straight as possible. The outdoor exhaust hood should be cleaned too.

Thank you Leslie. Working on that part too. Just wanted to get it hooked up and running first.

oh no she didn't
Someone in Connnecticut is gonna get spanked, methinks!
......and I beg to differ, girls. It WAS simply the lock-nuts missing to hold the crimped on ends connecotrs of the cord in place. Pardon the epxression, but the shaft (screw with no head)was there in the terminal-block area, from my understanding. Damn that was not suspposed to sound dirty.
For our international friends 220v appliances do NOT come with a cord / flex.
There are three pronged ones:
hot, neutral/ground (combined through one conductor), hot
Four pronged ones:
hot, neutral, ground, hot
...and hard-wired.
Cable from wall goes into appliance diectly. No disconnection means.
When the machine is used with a three-prong cordset /flex there is a grounding (earthing) strap on the machine that is to be connected to the neutral wire on the terminal block.
[Petie, BTW I remember back in my youth reading on the instructions of Mom' 1966 Maytag GD306 dryer that electric appliances in Canada may NOT combine the neutral and the ground conductors. SO there! Yes mom had a gas dryer, but it incuded the electric modelinstallation instructions.] New construciotn here includes only the four pronged variety for extra safety.
BTW the heater, when electric is220v, the other components of a dryer are normally 110v.

Come to Texas GG
I have enough greenie material....for errr....one large pitcher...
We can chat about Togs missing screws....LOL
There was a small ding in the dryer door..offered 5% off the price. I would've bitched for 10...and probably gotten it. So is this dryer for the ex? Make him pay you full price, and you pocket the rest.....
Severence pay for dealing with him....LOL
(I am sure you earned more.....I'm just saying..)

RE Home Depot
Home Depot is the worst I did not get my mew carpet for my mobile hone for six monther because the stupid measuer made a mistake by about 9 sq yds of carpet. I showed him what the insurance man had measured out and it was 48 sq yd's. I sent it back twice because they kept sending out 32 sq yd's so it meant that the hall would not have carpet in it. In short I went to the store and made a garage out of the carpet department and had two people fired and got all the carpet that I needed at the cost of the store. It pays to call the 800 number and raise hell. I got what I wanted free carpet for 6 monthes of screw ups. I do not own the mobile home any more and in the new house I will use Stone Mountain. I have in the past and they are great..

So is this dryer for the ex?
Yes dear..for the ex....Just the nice guy that I am(Blush).
Maybe someday we can share a pitcher of greenies.
I am going to talk to the salesman tomorrow to see what he can do since I wasted my entire day.

Are electric dryers slower than gas?
I've always had gas dryers to save money, and the timed portion of their timers maxed out at 1 hour. I've never seen a load that needed even close to an hour to dry.
But I noticed the Westy timer maxes out at 2 hours and the new dryer maxes out at 100 minutes. Holy smoke!!! That's a long time!
What's the deal? Are electric dryers significantly slower than gas? I've never heard anybody say that...

Steve,
Electric dryers have the same heat input as gas(approx 22,000 BTU's per hour), but since one of natural by-products of combustion is water vapor, electric is technically a little bit faster, and gas(IS THEORETICALLY)a tiny bit more gentle, all other things considered(doesn't this sound like Toggles input...Hint, Hint, HINT~!).
The additional time is probably for odd and/or heavy bulky items like blankets, rugs, comforters, coats, etc.
