Musty or moldy smell on clothes after drying

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before deep cleaning internal components.

• 1. Run cleaning cycle: Run the dryer empty on a high-heat cycle for 30 minutes to help dry out internal moisture.
• 2. Clean drum: Wipe the drum interior with a cloth dampened with mild detergent and water. Dry thoroughly.
• 3. Clean lint system: Remove lint filter and clean. Access and clean internal ducts and blower housing to remove damp lint.
• 4. Condenser cleaning (if applicable): On condensing models, remove and rinse the condenser/heat exchanger under running water to remove lint and residue.
• 5. Improve ventilation: Ensure the laundry area is well ventilated and not excessively humid. Avoid leaving wet clothes in the drum for long periods.
