Dryers typically last 8 to 12 years, or longer, with regular use. Regular maintenance can help to extend their lifespan.

Hoses should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or leaks and be replaced every 3-to 5 years to prevent bursts or water damage. We recommend using high-quality, stainless steel braided hoses for better durability.

Yes. Leaving the door open, when not in use, will air out the drum and help to prevent mold and mildew buildup.

Run an empty cycle with hot water and a washer cleaner tablet or a cup of white vinegar to clean the drum. We recommend doing this monthly to prevent buildup of detergent and mildew.

We recommend cleaning the detergent drawer and filter once a month to prevent buildup and ensure optimal performance. Remove any residue and rinse thoroughly before reinserting.

Check the hoses and connections for any leaks or cracks. Ensure the door seal is clean and intact. Inspect the detergent drawer and ensure it is not overfilled. If the problem persists, you may require professional servicing.

Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced load, improperly leveled machine, or worn-out shock absorbers. Redistribute the load, ensure the machine is level, and check for any damaged parts that may need replacement.

Typically, 1 inch of clearance is required on the sides and back for ventilation and to reduce vibration. Additionally, we recommend leaving at least 4 to 6 inches at the back for water and power connections.

Yes. Ensure you have the necessary tools and connections, including water supply, drainage, and power, and follow the instructions in your owner’s manual.

Danby washers are not designed for outside installation. This includes any location that is not temperature controlled. Placing your washing machine in an unsuitable location will void the warranty.

Important features include: energy efficiency, multiple wash cycles, high spin speed, delay start option, load sensing, steam cleaning, and smart connectivity for remote control and monitoring.

Front-loading washers are generally more energy and water-efficient, tend to be gentler on clothes and can be stacked. Top-loading washers can be less gentle on clothing and handle bulky items well, but they cannot be stacked.

Compact washing machines range from 1.3 cubic feet to 2.7 cubic feet and can typically wash 11 pounds to 26 pounds of laundry.

Check and clean the drum and door seals to prevent lint buildup. If applicable, periodically check the exterior vent hood for obstructions.

We recommend cleaning the vent at least once a year to prevent fire hazards and maintain optimal performance.

We recommend cleaning the lint trap before, or after, every load to maintain efficiency and safety.

Ensure the dryer is level and not overloaded. Check for foreign objects in the drum. If the problem persists, you may require professional servicing.

Clean the lint trap and exhaust vent to ensure proper airflow. Check if the dryer is overloaded and avoid drying heavy items together. If the problem persists, you may require professional servicing.

There are two main types of dryers: vented and ventless. Vented dryers expel hot, moist air outside through a duct, requiring an external vent. Ventless dryers, including condenser and heat pump models, recycle air within the unit. Condenser dryers cool hot air to remove moisture, which collects in a tank or drains out. Ventless dryers are ideal for spaces without existing vents.

Check if the dryer is properly plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Clean the lint trap and vent to ensure proper airflow. If the problem persists, you may require professional servicing.

Yes. Compact dryers, ventless dryers, and stackable washer-dryer units are ideal for small spaces.

Dryers require a 4-inch diameter exhaust vent that leads to the outside of your home. Rigid, or semi-rigid, metal ducting is recommended. We do not recommend using flexible plastic or foil ducts as they can be fire hazards.

Connect the dryer to the appropriate power source, attach the venting duct to an exterior vent (if applicable), level the dryer, and test it for proper operation. Refer to your owner’s manual for details.

Important features to consider include: moisture sensors, multiple drying cycles, energy efficiency, noise level, steam options, reversible door, and smart connectivity for remote monitoring and control.

Standard dryers typically have a capacity of 7 to 8 cubic feet. Larger households may require a dryer with 9 cubic feet, or more. Smaller households, or apartments, may benefit from a compact dryer with 4-to 6 cubic feet.
