← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a desiccant fails in a gas dryer?
A)Extended drying cycle run time✓
B)Refrigerant overcooling from sub-saturation
C)Condenser coil frosting inefficiency
D)Increased natural gas fuel consumption
💡 Explanation
Extended drying occurs because the *deliquescence* mechanism is impaired; failed desiccant cannot absorb moisture during the phase transition. Therefore, garments remain wet longer, rather than gas consumption altering, due to a separate heating element efficiency. Condenser icing is present in heat pumps only.
