Question
Hello Rabbi, I have a vacuum cleaner with a washing function. When I finish cleaning, I return it for charging and cleaning. The cleaning takes 4 minutes, but then there is a drying of the brush that takes an hour. This process involves heating under the brush, it makes a slight buzzing sound, and the brush rotates every 2 minutes. Is it permissible to clean the brush half an hour before Shabbat so that the drying continues into Shabbat?
Answer
Hello,
There is no issue with the drying continuing on its own during Shabbat.
