Neighbours tumble dryer on 10+hrs/day

[SenseCheckMe]

Hi all, new to forum and looking for some advice.

My neighbours tumble dryer is on 10 hrs everyday. We can hear it in all rooms of our home and its next to the party wall. It on beteween 7am and 10.30pm. Everyday as best we can tell (we work full time) and every weekend. Its been like this for months. Quite honesty its making me very ill. We've been round several times and invited her to listen to noise which she agrees she can hear. She's making no effort to improve it though. We've made many suggestions such as pads, etc. Quite frankly i think she is inconsiderate. What do you guys think?

They must be high as kites if no fumes extracted!

Could they be using the dryer as a heater? So is the fire or radiators not working? We have an open plan kitchen/living room and we leave the radiators if we need the dryer on and it Heats the room up. Just a thought

What happened op?come back

Maybe the HA spoke to them today hence the quiet now.

Omg!! I’ve found and cleaned the condenser! Didn’t have a clue it was there!! I’ve been complaining that it takes forever to dry stuff and that it often smells musty instead of fabric softener-y!!

I followed instructions on YouTube but it didn’t say anything about having to dry it! I’ve put it back in and turned it back on (was mid cycle). Will it explode??

I guess the fluff would stick like glue to it maybe. I have no idea it was just in my instructions. Mine also beeps and flashes at me when it feels it needs cleaning

I’m honestly cock a hoop about this 😊

Hi all, dryer went back on mere minutes after my last post (7.35pm), still going. Suspect it'll be onto 10pm or later. I'll see if there is a whiff later, no smell atm.

BlackEyedKid I used to let it dry outside if it was warm or just leave it stood up in the bath overnight.

It really makes a huge difference.

General maintenance, goes a long way, Now dare I ask all of you, if you clean the little filter on the washing machine, that collects random stuff?

Never Tot but I just got a brand new bigger washer so I guess I don’t have to worry for a while.

Now I really need to know the outcome of this thread.

I love the CALL 101 RIGHT NOW AT 2am brigade

My thoughts precisely!

They should both be done every month. The washing machine filter has fluff, coins, & any old shit from pockets in it

Now dare I ask all of you, if you clean the little filter on the washing machine, that collects random stuff?

Every single time I use it.

I obviously lead a very sheltered life, how do all of you know this stuff about weed farms?

I would have assumed she's running a laundry business from home, unless she's subletting rooms but I guess you might see people coming and going if that were the case.

If you can find out the landlord /agent details (can you remember who it was advertised with) you could report it as clearly no landlord wants a tumble dryer used that much, with the damage from damp plus the fire risk etc.

If it really is a weed farm I feel the police should be notified for the sake of the child if nothing else.

Cannabis farm.
There was one in a flat across the road from us. It caught fire as they had overloaded the electrics. Luckily no-one was killed, but neighbours said they could smell weed and there was a constant noise, but no-one bothered to ring the Police. (They were probably looking forward to the harvest tbh).

The fact that there is a strong smell of weed is reason enough to report to police OP.

Is their electric box on the inside or outside of the house op?

Might be a daft question but I am very familiar with the smell of someone smoking weed, however does the smell of it as a growing plant smell the same?

Didn’t think I’d be saying this on MN but I have been inside weed farms, and yes extactor fans can be noisy but popular strains are grown under 24/7 light and the extractor fans could never be turned off for hours at a time. Even 10 hours a day wouldn’t be enough.

Maybe she just loves laundry.

Stop calling it a dryer! Can't believe you reported it as a dryer either. No wonder EH didn't give a hoot!

Confront them and say you will report them as a weed farm, but you silence can be guaranteed for a price.

Yes, the growing plant smells very pleasant actually.

Intrigued so shamelessly placemarking!

Wtf just discovered a weed farm thread!

More updates, please op 🌿🌿🌿
