The product, in the report: Commerical dryer
We were using a commercial dryer equipment manufactured by The Dexter Company at [REDACTED] on March 25, 2011 as we had done several times before during our stay in the Newberg area. On this occasion the dryer we normally used failed. We were sitting only a short distance away from the dryer in the waiting area when the drum stopped turning but the heat did not stop. No alarm went off alerting us to the failure. We had checked on the dryer a short time earlier and everything was fine. When we went to remove our clothing they were so hot we couldn’t even touch them to remove them from the dryer. The heat had damaged or destroyed all of our clothing. The man made materials basically melted and the light colored materials appeared burnt. We contacted the older male attendant who was the only employee present. He checked the dryer and discovered that it was not working so he placed a notice on it. He referred us to the manager who was coming on duty later that afternoon. We left our name and phone number for her to call us. She never called us.
It was dangerous that your equipment malfunctioned and never sounded an alarm resulting in our clothing being destroyed. It cost us $71.98 to replace our damaged or destroyed clothing.
We wrote to The Dexter Company and the Laundry in May but have not received a response from either of them.
