As you go through the depreciation of assets under your rental property, edit the entry for the old dryer.  There will be a question there that asks if you stopped using the asset during the year.  Answer 'yes' and go through the rest of that section.  If you completely disposed of it, versus selling it, enter $0 for the sales price.

 

Then, enter a new asset to begin depreciating the new dryer.
