Dryer takes too long to dry clothes; cycles complete but laundry is still slightly damp.

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing panels or condenser units. Allow hot components to cool.

• Clean lint filter thoroughly: Wash the lint filter with warm water and mild detergent if coated. Dry completely before use.
• Check venting (vented models): Inspect and clean the entire exhaust duct and outside vent hood. Replace crushed or excessively long hoses.
• Clean condenser (condenser/heat pump models): Remove the condenser from the front access and rinse under running water until clear. Clean surrounding air channels.
• Clean moisture sensor bars: Wipe the sensor bars inside the drum with vinegar or alcohol to remove residue that can misread dryness.
• Load size and sorting: Avoid overloading and mix heavy and light fabrics appropriately. If performance is still poor, test heater output and thermostats.
