Sounds like it has died.\n\nTry cleaning it but you are probably looking at needing to buy a new one.\n\n///

Warm air holds more water vapor than cold air.  That is why a clothes dryer uses heated air to draw the moisture from the clothes.  It is also why when warm moist air meets cold air it results in precipitation.

I looked up on line that a dryer uses about 4kW and on average 13KWh per day.  It's like powering 40-50 light bulbs when it's running.\n\nA Watt is a unit of electrical power, which expresses how much energy (measured in Joules) gets used or transmitted per second.  \n\n1 Watt = 1 Joule/Second \n\nCost (for me) per day is $0.056/kWh * 13kWH = $0.73\n\nI think that most of the heat is diverted out of the home but your right it does get hotter around a dryer.  It would vary greatly though depending on the dryer, insulation, venting, how much lint is in the filter etc.  I have no idea how to calculate the amount of heat energy that would escape into your house.

I don't think it should get hot. Maybe you should shut the power of to that switch and consult an electrician.

Check with several home heating specialists.  Recently talked to someone who just had NA furnace installed.  Requires no electricity.

There is a short circuit somewhere in your house...most likely a large appliance.  DO NOT FORCE THE BREAKER CLOSED!!!  You could start an electrical fire which could destroy your house!  Call a trained, certified electrician to locate the short circuit...this is best left to professionals.

See if it's possible to close or cover the vent with something.  Some hardware stores have magnetic covers or screw in shields that redirect the airflow.  \n\nIf you have building maintenance, bring the problem up to them and/or your manager.  This will impact your health if more drastically if it continues.  You could even see about having management set & lock the thermostat control.\n\nYou could also ask that the AC be turned down or off in the morning and then turned on later as the heat of the day rises ... to save money for the company.\n\nYou could speak to him in a very direct fashion about it and try to come to a compromise.  You could also get to work early and set the thing then crazy glue it in place or remove the dial (but, I would talk to management before defacing company property).\n\nEvery time you come back to your desk, change the temp back.  \n\nKeep a sweater or pull over at work, don't bother carting it back & forth home.  Lastly, bring in a space heater - fight Ice with Fire.\n\nGood Luck!

People who say there might be a short in the outlet are wrong: if that were the case, the outlet would have fried or popped the breaker, without having to have anything plugged in to it.  The short is in the plug, the cord, or the equipment the cord connects to.  Examine the plug and cord carefully for frayed wires, burnt or cracked insulation, etc.  If that all looks OK, the problem is probably in the equipment.

have you tried taking some air out of it.\n\nTake air out and run it in your clothes dryer on fluff for a few hours.

call a furnace repairman and tell him you want the furnace cleaned watch him then do it after he is done next time.

U have the best answer from howstuffworks.com. \nAbout the circuit it’s better buy a cheep hair dryer from the market and disassemble it,  have look at it. For the exact description of the hair dryer and it inner circuit’s values  \nCircuit on the PCB board may also depend on the manufacture also \n\n\nIn general i t contains an AC power code which is attached to a  switch for switching it ON and OFF and also contains a  capacitor and transistors to step down the AC power of 220V or 110 V to the capacity of the motor and the heating coil, so the can be shared by the heating coil in front and the motor placed at the back of hair dryer…

It may be over-heating

If this is a constant problem then buy a humidifier. Static electricity is less likely to happen if the air in your house is not so dry.

It depends on the kind of heater it is. The most common way would be to reduce the speed of the fan, if possible. If it doesn't have a fan and the noise is from water or steam going through the pipes, then, a) there could be air in the system that's not supposed to be there, or b)the water or steam could be going through a small pipe or partly closed valve so fast that it makes a lot of noise.

You may have to just let it thaw out.  Its likely you've overworked it and its overly humid.  Also possible is the water condensing on the coils is not draining away properly.  I've seen where the drain system gets plugged with algae, and it ices the whole system up.\n\nI'd try thawing it out before I call the repair guy.  He'll be happy to come out and recharge it, but you may not need it.  Just turn it off until the ice completely melts to thaw it.\n\nAC units don't like to be overworked, so keep the door and windows closed, and make sure it doesn't run continuously.
