Red? Red is good.
1. Transfer everything back to the washer.
2. Dye it red.
3. Back to the dryer.
4. Have another stiff drink.
5. Enjoy the new wardrobe.

Oh man, that just happened to us a few months ago. We just had to get new socks, new undies, etc.

The dryer filter has a permanent wax line across it. My daughter apologized for leaving a crayon in her pocket.

Have another fudgesicle.

Well, I think your best bet is to get a new dryer. And the best way to do that is to get a new house. And the best place for you to get a new house is Chicago.
So, move to Chicago.

happened to us as well, red too. we ran everything through on hot about 7 times and it came out of a lot of fabrics so we saved a good number of items. other stuff is pink-ish (the new power color), and i threw about 3 things out. it didn't get worse, but it didn't fix the solution.

If you're looking to clean the dryer, I've heard that those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers take crayon off walls. Maybe they would work to clean the dryer too? As for the clothes, I have no idea, but the internet is a great place to find out. Do a search for getting crayon out of clothing.

Good luck!

You're going to reset the defrinteration cap on the back of constant rate converter drive housing assembly. Pretty sure that and a stiff drink ought to do it.
