My mother and family ran into Gerald Ford circa sometime in the seventies during his presidency one time and she said the secret service were like statues but ford was very approachable himself and quite the nice fellow . <| sep |> Lol then why is he coming to your house unannounced , sounds pretty social to me <| sep |> Fstop ? Sounds like full stop . Possibly a time freezing mechanism ? <| sep |> First , let ' s prove that it is a ductwork problem . Disconnect the vent , and try to dry a load NOTE this is a gas dryer , so make sure the room is vented for this test . The air leaving the dryer should quickly get to around 170 degrees , depending on the water load of the clothes . Does yours get hot ? If so , connect the vent and measure the air volume and temperature at the outlet . What do you have ?
