Gas dryer leaves black grease spots on clothes

Removing grease is fairly easy but removing black grease, perhaps not easy at all - you have to consider what is in the grease to make it black, which could be molybdenum disulphide, graphite, carbon or any sort of general dirt, the particles of which are likely to be so fine as to act like a dye and leave a stain.

Depends also on the size of the grease spot and the fabric and what is available to you.

After carefully scraping as much grease from the surface of the fabric as you can it can then be either sponged with white gas or left to soak with a solvent based jelly type hand cleaner such as Swarfega or Klix worked well into the fabric just covering the grease spot.

Once it has soaked for a few hours, scrape off the excess and then sponge with white gas using a wad of absorbent paper or similar as backing and turning the cloth several times to sponge from the back and replacing the pad as required.

Once as much of the grease spot has been removed as possible the fabric can be laundered as normal, though dry cleaning is likely to be most successful though a boil wash could be superior if the fabric is able to be boil-washed, perhaps using some laundry bleach.

You need a hose for the dryer that looks like the one you'd find on a BBQ grille or a patio heater.

Check the thermostats for continuity. Sounds like the dryer is getting to hot and may have melted something. There is nothing with grease in that area of the dryer,

Hi,
The cycling or operating thermostatis often the problem when a dryer runstoo hot, but there are also other things that can make it run hot also.

Here is a tip that I wrote that gives more details about why a clothes dryer will get too hot.

YOUR BEARINGS ARE GOING THE BLACK SPOTS ARE GREASE FROM THE BALL RACER RING THEY SIT IN, IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE & EVENTUALY YOU WONT BE ABLE TO GET IT OUT OF YOUR CLOTHING & THEN YOU DEVELOPE A PUNGENT SMELL THAT WONT GO UNTIL IT IS FIXED, YOU CAN CHANGE THEM YOURSELF BUT IT IS NOT EASY FOR SOMEONE NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY'RE DOING, SORRY, I HOPE THIS HELPS A BIT...

either the roller are degrading or the belt the black is caused by the grinding of the dryer as it spins and has no cushion left replace the rollers

the most common problem 90% of service call blocked vent dirty or crushed behind in wall also may have blockage if not a thermo stat is bad

I am not the Dryer fixin' trade...but I have this dryer. To me, it sounds like it overheating or the heater unit has become lose from its hold rack. I would MOST definitely have a pro look at it and do NOT leave the dryer unattended...It may be a possible fire hazzard
