How Your Tumble Dryer Works
The tumble dryer uses heated air to dry loads of
laundry.
1. When the motor is started, the exhaust fan pulls
room temperature air in through the air intake at the
rear of the tumble dryer and over the heat source
(burner flame for gas, heating element for electric, and
coil for steam).
2. The heated air moves into the cylinder, where it is
circulated through the wet load by the tumbling action
of the cylinder.
3. The air then passes through the lint filter, exhaust
fan, and is vented to the outdoors.
