What this week's weather means for your appliances

Wet air slows the dryer

Rain chances reach 59% this week. Humid air makes a dryer work harder, so a load that suddenly needs two cycles is far more often a lint-choked vent than a failed heating element.

Day-to-night temperature swing

This week runs from 47°F overnight to 77°F in the afternoon. A swing that size makes a refrigerator cycle more often, so a dusty condenser coil or a door gasket that no longer seals shows up as warm food far sooner than it would in steady weather.

Appliances and the Charlotte climate

Charlotte is humid subtropical: warm damp summers, short mild winters and an intense spring pollen season.

Pollen is the local detail worth knowing. For several weeks each spring the Piedmont coats everything in a yellow film, and that film ends up on refrigerator condenser coils and in dryer vent hoods, where it mats with lint. A refrigerator that starts running warm in April, after a winter of behaving, has very often just picked up a pollen-and-dust blanket on the coil. Humid summers then make the usual front-load washer gasket mildew a year-round maintenance item rather than a seasonal one.
