I maybe losing volts on lead to tumble drier (5)
I believe the answer is:
towel
'drier' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for towel that I've seen before include "This could dry up" , "Bathroom cloth" , "Owlet (anag)" , "Dryer" , "Piece of absorbent cloth or paper for drying" .)
