I’m completely freaked!! Help!!

[Netflixandchilll]

Went to turn off the dryer before bed. Dryer door open, clothes on the floor but the dryer was on and still spinning.

No ones touched it. DP in bed and I’m only one downstairs. Someone rationalise this because I’m fucking shitting myself and freaked out now

What are you scared has happened?

Well it’s just a bit bloody creepy isn’t it

Your washing machine seal or catch is knackered.

I would say you have some.kind of faulty door mechanism op, try not to worry x

Not really. It sounds like the door catch had gone.

What neptune said

Were you drying any socks?

Door catch has failed, popped open. It can happen when it gets too hot.

It’s relatively new dryer. So I hope you’re all right. I haven’t got time for a ghost 😂

If there's a ghost make sure it earns it's keep by doing housework 🤣😂😅

Yeah hopefully said ghost was just saving my washing from shrinking, it had been in the dryer a while

Fgs, relax. The door wasn't shut properly or it's defective. I'm sure the ghost living in your house has better things to do than spill your laundry all over the floor.

I'd be worried that the dryer still spins with the door open, I would have thought there should be a failsafe switch to cut the spinning the moment the door opens. I'd contact the manufacturer as it sounds defective.

There's no such thing as ghosts. It was Gremlins.

It's definitely a poltergeist.

I have an alibi!

I haven't got time for a ghost
That's made me laugh a lot . Not normally awake laughing at tumble dryer posts at 3am but just seen DD off on school trip to Berlin. Will spend nx 5 days fretting...

That's a worry from a safety point of view! It should surely turn off when the door is open. It's obviously spat out your laundry.

My dryer won't continue to spin if the door is open. I think that's weird.

Have you heard of the clothes dryer ghost op, it spits your clothes out and then....hangs them up neatly in your wardrobe!! 😂

@SneakyGremlins [laugh]

I just can't use those emotiwhatsits.
OP. You need to improve your time management skills. Schedule some quality ghost time mid week.

I once heard of something similar happening. A person telling friends about a dryer mysteriously opening by itself in the night. Then a few days later she just disappeared without trace from her house, and no-one has seen her since or ever found out what happened to her.

All dryers should stop when the door is opened. Yours has a faulty door.

The clothes have been flung out while doing round with the door open.
