Turning Off Dryer Reversing-Huebsch

 

One of the latest features on commercial dryers is reversing drums.
It has been around for quite a bit as an add on option, but now it is standard as the benefits of customers having clothes dried faster and sheets and blankets not getting all rolled up into one ball that is wet in the middle has been a convenience and time saver for customers.
The reversing feature also gets more people though the dryer line faster for an owner and can save money in utilities. Having said the benefits, there are two potential problems that some owners are suspicious of.
1. it freaks out customers when they first see it
2. customers think they are losing time because the drum isn't spinning
3. is it causing more wear and tear on the motor
The video below shows how you can turn off the reversing feature. 

Follow the same steps to turn the reversing back on, because once people are used to it they like it and see how much better their clothes dry. As of this writing I haven't heard of any loss of life in the motors.
I'll admit there might be data out there or it might be too early in the reversing feature life to have definitive answers to the wear and tear on the motor question. I don't believe it will be anything significant if it does have an adverse affect on the life of the motor.
