How do you disconnect a dryer?
Disconnect the dryer
If you're going to disconnect your dryer, follow the steps below:
- Step 1: disconnect your dryer from the power grid.
- Step 2: empty the drum.
- Step 3: remove the hose from the drain.
- Step 4: tape the hose to the back.
- Step 5: empty the condenser reservoir.
It's useful to have a bucket nearby.
Step 1: disconnect your dryer from the power grid.
Turn the dryer off and pull the plug out of the socket or contra plug. Is the dryer connected to a pull switch? Contact an electrician to disconnect the dryer from the power grid.
Step 2: empty the drum
Check if there's still laundry in the drum. You don't want to lose your favorite shirt, of course.
Step 3: remove hose from the drain
Remove the condensation drain hose from the drain. Some water may come out of the hose. Hold the hose over a bucket and let the water drip out.
Step 4: attach the hose
Tape the condensation drain hose on the back of the dryer with the opening upwards. You can keep the hose in place with tape. This way, you don't have to worry about water getting on your floor when you remove the dryer.
Step 5: Empty the condenser reservoir
Don't have a water drain and do you use the condenser reservoir? Make sure that this reservoir is completely empty. The dryer is now ready for the delivery drivers. Have it ready at the front door of your home on the ground floor.
