Two dryer balls have disappeared in my dryer. Where do they go?

Answer 1

For anyone who has ever wondered where things go when they disappear in the dryer, I have the answer. Chances are that your balls, some socks and a lot of change have been "eaten" by the dryer.

If you look inside of your dryer toward the back of the drum. The back of the drum isn't usually attached to the dryer itself. In order to tumble the clothes, the drum usually moves with a belt attached to the motor. The back of the dryer stays stationary because it is where the heat and airflow are coming from. That's why there are so many holes back there.

Usually, when things disappear, they are caught in the back of the dryer where the drum and the back of the drum meet. This is commonly called the "dryer seal". Things like socks, spare change, etc get caught in the crack and fall to the bottom of the dryer. Everything else is usually caught by the lint trap, though a large amount of lint usually ends up in the bottom of the dryer no matter what you do.

For that reason, I recommend that someone clean out a dryer about once a year by popping off the access panel on the front and vacuuming out the bottom of the machine. It keeps the airflow smooth, decreases the risk for a dryer fire and helps you recover all of those missing socks and change.

Answer 2

Must be like socks disappearing in dryer. It the dryer demons.

Answer 3

They certainly did not go anywhere inside the dryer. Check inside the sleeve of YOUR rugby shirt or any other article of clothing or sheet or blanket. Perhaps you should look in back or between the washer and dryer.

Answer 4

As I've been beaten to a lost sock joke, I'll just tell you that I lost a washer ball in my washing machine a few weeks ago, which decided to appear in the sleeve of my rugby shirt when I was putting it on to play last weekend. I swear it wasn't there when I packed my kit.

I think, like socks, wash/dryer balls defy the laws of space and time and can shift around in the multiverse as they please.

We are but their playthings...........

Answer 5

There are only 3 possible answers:
1. They came out and got folded and put away with your sheets, blankets or other clothing.
2. They fell out and rolled away while you were removing clothing.
3. Your lint screen inside the dryer itself has fallen off, and they got blown out through the dryer venting system.

Answer 6

the phone is useless. The immersion in the soapy water in all likelihood rendered it useless, and with the further warmth of the drier made constructive of it. What you do is pay the deductible to the insurance agency and get yet another telephone. Or purchase one outright. Oh and to any extent further examine your pants wallet earlier doing the wash!

Answer 7

To single sock heaven.
