Hisense Poor Drying Performance / Restricted Airflow

Dryer runs but takes excessively long to dry clothes; laundry is still damp at the end of the cycle, no error code.

Possible Causes

Clogged lint filter, Blocked exhaust duct or wall vent, Partially blocked internal blower housing, Weak heating due to failing thermostat

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before cleaning internal ducts.

  • Clean lint filter thoroughly: Remove and wash with warm soapy water if coated. Dry completely.
  • Inspect exhaust hose and wall vent: Remove the hose and check for lint buildup or crushed sections. Clean the hose and wall vent hood.
  • Clean internal ducts: Remove rear or lower front panel and vacuum lint from blower housing and ducts. Avoid damaging sensors.
  • Check load size and fabric: Avoid overloading and mixing heavy items with light ones; this can extend drying time.
  • Verify heater operation: During a cycle, feel the exhaust air. If only mildly warm, test thermostats and heater as in the no-heat procedure.
