| 1410208 | 2015-10-21 04:00:00 | Whoops again Andrew, our last posts crossed so we now have another dimension with the dryer sharing the outlet duct. Unfortunately, this leaves you with the predicament of trying to “Balance” the ducts and for that you need Air Flow gauges and it’s a science. For instance even the junction being a “T”, Swept “T”, or “Y” is going to have a different effect. But what I would do is clean all the dust off the extractor blades for starters. Then remove the outlet Grill/Cover and clean that. Then do your leaf blower trick and see if you can dislodge any obstructions. Put it back together and see what happens. If it isn’t fixed, my guess is your fixing the dryer seal caused the problem but you can take some comfort from the fact the setup couldn’t have been working properly anyway. :) |

| 1410209 | 2015-10-21 04:31:00 | I have been talking to our electrician about ducting two extractor fans into one outlet. He says it is more trouble than it is worth as one will always overpower the other, requiring flapper valves to direct flow properly. You may have a similar effect. The answer is separate ducting and outlet for each fan. | Richard (739) | ||
