How to Install a Dryer Buzzer

The buzzer on your dryer is a convenient little device that creates an annoying noise near the end of your dryer’s drying cycle. Some buzzers begin to go off several minutes before the end of the timed cycle to give you the opportunity to remove your clothes before they wrinkle. When your dryer fails to notify you that the cycle is complete, restarting the dryer or using an iron are your only options to remove set in wrinkles. Installing a dryer buzzer is an effortless repair you can do so you know when it’s time to get your clothes.
