Since we have a gas dryer I'm glad to know about this info, so glad you were nice to share this info.I receive a fair share of e-mails and I have to say, you guys are asking the BEST questions! It was almost 100degrees all the time and 100% humidity. I bought less expensive bag of food so I could feed and water them, moved their tether line to a shadier spot, couldn't stand to watch them suffer. He'd go off on weekends to leave dog/puppies without any food, water or shade in summer. Luckily our garage was covered with metal siding. He came over when his house being rebuilt again and hooked hose onto our water without asking. I had to sit out on front porch for quite awhile with a scarf over my face since I have asthma and dog was not feeling too well, took her to vet next day. Pretty scarey as it was in summer, hotter than blazes and poor dog in hot house. On top of that his electric power was hooked with ours so my power was out for hours. When I finally got home to see neighbors house gone I was relieved but worried. Closer I got the more worried I was as I left dog in house while gone. time I was coming home from town on Friday night to see flames in air (we lived out in country on twisty road) but not close enough to see where it was coming from, lots of trees to block view. due to not cleaning filter after every load. Our neighbor in KY burned his house down to ground twice in 3 yrs. If you have and notice the smell around that time, it’s most likely from that.Īnyone ever had that happen? Do you all clean out your dryer ducts regularly? It goes a long way to avoiding dryer fires! (He gave us a discount since it was so brief.)Īnyway, just thought I would share that little tidbit! If you notice that smell and haven’t had any work done in your home then get it checked out for sure. The good thing is that nothing was wrong with the dryer! Bad thing is we still had to pay for a service call.
#Fumy smell in washer oom windows#
He said opening windows helps but otherwise you just have to wait till the floors really cure before it will go away. I opened a bunch of windows that day and from then on they didn’t smell again – of course! We had aired out the house after the floors were done but it wasn’t enough obviously. So…if you ever do any work to your home that involves oil-based paint or have floors refinished – look out for that smell. Maybe I was avoiding laundry at the time, who knows.
Funny thing is, when we first had the floors installed years ago our old gas dryer was on the same level as the floors and I don’t remember the clothes smelling like this. Our dryer is just below the floors that were refinished so that explains it. He explained that any oil-based or petroleum product will react with the gas dryer and cause the kerosene smell. I was standing there wondering how in the world he would know we had just done our floors and told him yes and asked why. THEN he asked about our floors – the ones we had just had restained in the family room and kitchen. Funny he said that because that’s something I read online but dismissed it because we hadn’t been painting. To my relief but confusion right away he said it was nothing to worry about – and he asked if we had just painted inside our house. We stopped drying clothes in it for a few days till our appliance guy could come out and take a look. I read online that it is usually due to lint catching on fire inside the machine – which totally freaked me out. More specifically our clothes smelled like we had been sitting by a campfire.
So I couldn't figure out why we would smell fire. Before we moved our laundry room ours ran through our garage so we hired out.) (SO important to do that – just do it yourself with a cleaning kit and a wet dry vac if your ductwork is short enough. We already clean out the lint every time we use it and at least a couple times a year we clean out the duct in the wall that goes outside. I did some research online to see if it was something we could fix ourselves. We’re the only ones who see it so it’s down on the list. I was annoyed that something would be wrong with the dryer considering it’s only a couple years old: A few weeks ago we noticed that every time we dried our clothes they came out of the dryer smelling AWFUL.
