I havent used a dryer in over a year. Dry my clothes in the dining room on a rack. Suprisingly I can dry clothes faster in the winter. Dryers are a scam. Idk why anybody has one.
Probably for the same reason you used em up until a year ago ;)

Great idea using attic heat. I try to use the lowest heat setting when drying,doesnt seem to tak that much longer . Wife does so much laundry with 2 teenagers at home ,theres no way were dragging it all down a flight of steps and out into the yard and back again up a flight of steps again. The dryer stays,although a HP dryer would be nice. Laundry room is between the bathrooms and bedrooms for the shortest trip possible.
