Re: Pics from our fire - REPLACE YOUR CHEAP SURGE PROTECTOR!

67 C-30, very sorry about your disaster, and thank you for sharing so the rest of us can learn from the experience. Screwballl, thanks for posting all that information. This is a subject I never really considered, and now I will.

Reminds me of a tip I heard about clothes dryer fires a few years ago. For those that use fabric softener dryer sheets, you should wash the removable filter every month or so in soap and water. The film residue from the fabric softener builds up on the screen to the point the screen will hold water - and block airflow. It's easy enough to demonstrate, run water on the filter and see if it retains water. Wash the filter and see that afterward the water just falls through.
