Dryer takes much longer than usual to dry clothes; drum is warm but loads remain damp

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing panels or hoses.

• Clean the lint filter thoroughly: Remove and clean the filter after every load. Wash with warm soapy water if it appears coated or clogged.
• Clean condenser / heat exchanger: For condenser and heat pump Logik dryers, remove the condenser unit from the lower front compartment and rinse it under running water until clear. Allow to drain and dry before refitting.
• Inspect vent hose (vented models): Detach the hose from the dryer and wall. Shake out lint and debris. Replace if crushed or excessively long. Ensure the external vent flap opens freely.
• Check internal ducts: Remove rear or side panels and inspect the air channels for lint build-up, especially around the fan housing. Vacuum carefully without damaging sensors or wiring.
• Test with smaller load: Overloading can also cause long drying times. Try a half load to see if performance improves.
