after only a month of use @_@ dont buy nesco wallmart dehydrators... fucking POS
I have about 6 ounces to dry @)_(@ so i built a desiccant chamber... i used an 18 gallon tub, made a 3 level rack out of PVC pipe and plastic mesh.... i poured a whole refill bag of Damp Rid into the bottom of the tub and put seran wrap around the lid....
1) do you think this will work? 2) how long do you think it will take?

For the same reasons people have always said don't put fresh fruits straight into a desiccant chamber.

Yeah I would fan dry for a day or two at least before putting them in a desiccant chamber.

Yeah I used a couple of those. I just keep the receipts and exchange as needed. Walmart will pretty much take anything back, sometimes no receipt needed.

Buy a new dehydrator, put the old one in the new ones box and return the older one with the newer ones receipt after a week to justify the usage.
6 ounces is a lot under one fan but yeah I would do that ^
