Dryer takes too long to dry clothes; loads are still damp after a full cycle.

Safety first: Disconnect power before cleaning internal ducts or removing panels.

• Clean lint filter: Remove and thoroughly clean the lint filter. Wash with warm soapy water if coated with residue, then dry completely.
• Inspect and clean exhaust duct: For vented models, disconnect the exhaust hose and clean it and the wall vent. Ensure the outside flap opens fully.
• Clean condenser: For condenser/heat pump models, remove the condenser unit and rinse under running water to remove lint. Clean the housing and air channels.
• Check load size and sorting: Avoid overloading and mixing heavy items (towels) with light items. Spin clothes well in the washer before drying.
• Test moisture sensor: Clean the sensor bars inside the drum with vinegar or alcohol. If automatic cycles still end too early or too late, test and replace the moisture sensor assembly.
