Dryer takes too long to dry clothes; loads are still damp after the normal program completes.

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the dryer before cleaning internal components.

• Clean lint filter: Remove the filter and clean off all lint. Wash with warm soapy water if coated with residue, then dry thoroughly.
• Clean condenser: On Beko condenser and heat pump dryers, remove the condenser from the front compartment and rinse under running water until clear. Allow to drain before refitting.
• Check venting (vented models): Inspect the exhaust hose for kinks, crushing, or lint build-up. Clean or replace the hose and ensure the wall vent flap opens freely.
• Clean moisture sensor bars: Wipe the metal sensor strips inside the drum with a cloth and mild cleaner to remove fabric softener film.
• Load and program: Avoid overloading the drum and select an appropriate dryness level. Overloaded or mixed-fabric loads can extend drying time.
