Yeah , I have no doubt there are people like the above that really do take this stuff that personally . <| sep |> My first questions would be why you need a three hour dry cycle ? It ' s possible there is something wrong with the dryer element or otherwise and that ' s why you ' re not getting efficient use from the machine . Could be as simple as the lint channel having a clog or it could be more significant . I ' m sure you can jerry rig a timer into the wiring where the existing timer is but I ' m not sure that ' s the safe thing to do . My assumption , I ' m not an appliance repair man , is that the parts within the dryer have duty cycles and it ' s not safe to run beyond those . <| sep |> A true Philadelphian never puts Yuengling on the table unless he plans to drink it all himself .
