So this is likely going to be a dumb question but this type of stuff is foreign to me idek if I’m asking it in the correct forum.

So I while collecting my laundry out the dryer. I heard this weird ticking sound. So I glanced over to where this…thing…is located and both dials were just revolving making an audible sound along with it but the numerical values stayed the same. So Im confused why that was happening. Cause only time I ever seen that happen was when I was watching The Simpsons and Homer plugged a Ferris wheel into Ned’s outlet. 

So using my critical thinking skill imma assume it was due to the dryer operating. Which of course is electric. My mother told me to do research on what washer and dryer to get. Told her to get a gas dryer instead of electric cause it’s cheaper in the long run. But she’s challenging everything im saying despite her telling me to do research. Like her reasoning being “oh I read an article and con ed is switching to electric only.” I told her I couldn’t care less what con-ed wants to do the facts are gas is cheaper, gas is very much in market, and our zip code predominantly uses gas operating appliances. And a gas dryer dries clothes better and quicker…..she buys the electric dryer. Like why ask me to do research if u weren’t going to listen to me.

I went way off point. 

Anyways.

I’m pretty sure that was only happening due the dryer operating. If not if I’m wrong just please kindly explain what it could be and why that occurs. Thank you

Why would this be going around and around?
