Most people doing laundry use one of two ways to dry clothes: a tumble dryer or a clothesline. Tumble dryers use energy and electricity but are faster than allowing clothes to dry on a line. Spin drying is a third method that combines the previous two. Making a spin dryer uses almost no electricity, compared to tumblers, while using airflow and centrifugal force to dry clothes. You won’t get completely dry clothes, but drying time and energy cost are significantly reduced.

Thermistors are heat sensors found in the dryer behind the back panel of your Whirlpool dryer. When your dryer isn’t drying properly, you may need to replace the thermistor on the unit. Thermistors have wires coming out of them that lead to the control board. These heat sensors tell the control panel how hot the dryer’s drum is getting. When the sensors go out, the dryer will not heat up and the clothes will stay wet.
Regardless of the size of tile or installed on a floor or a wall, the process is almost the same. Installation of 6-by-6 wall tiles is the same as it would be for larger tiles, with one slight difference: the installation takes longer due to setting more tiles in place in contrast to placing 12-by-12 or 18-by-18 tiles.
Small tile is an attractive option for backsplaces and countertops. Remove switch plates, nails and any other items on the wall.

Ponds surrounded by bare dirt or steep slopes may quickly fill with sediment.
