The dryer not heating, not turning on or starting, not tumbling, or making a ton of noise, are all signs that you should take a good look at the appliance. Luckily, some appliance experts keyed Reader's Digest in on the steps to take when you suspect your dryer is not up to par. MAKE SURE IT ISN'T OVERLOADED You may be trying to jam too much clothes into your dryer all at once. “It is important to make sure the dryer is not being overloaded,” said Gary Childers, a fabric care scientist and appliance expert with Procter & Gamble. “Overloading the dryer can cause issues with drying performance and noise when too much weight is inside the dryer.” Childers advised to never fill the dryer drum more than three-quarters full.

With all the progress we make in this country, there are always going to be people who want to actively destroy the nation. These people have no desire to take actions that better serve everyone. Instead, they prefer to block out sound judgment to serve values they want to impose on others. So, I was angry and deeply disappointed but not surprised when the court ruled. What about the people who were raped, experienced incest, or what if they just simply don’t want a kid? What happened to giving people grace when they make a mistake? I’m worried about what this type of regression of progress can lead to. If the right to a person’s body can be taken away in the blink of an eye, just imagine what will happen to contraception and birth control.

Hospitals across Britain face rises in power bills running into millions of pounds as the spiralling cost of living crisis hits NHS trusts. As household fuel bills climb to unprecedented levels, the health service also faces soaring charges as a result of the escalating cost pressures. A survey of NHS trusts across England and Scotland shows they are facing rises of up to £29 million in the three financial years to date. Sharp rises in energy costs caused by factors including the end of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine are also hitting the NHS, figures obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests by Metro.co.uk show.
