Dryer takes too long to dry clothes; cycles run to completion but laundry is still damp.

Safety first: Disconnect power before cleaning internal components.

• Clean lint filter: Remove and clean the door filter after every cycle. Wash with warm soapy water if coated with residue.
• Clean condenser/heat exchanger: On condenser and heat pump models, remove the lower front panel, slide out the condenser, and rinse thoroughly under running water. Allow to drain before refitting.
• Check venting (vented models): Inspect and clean the vent hose and external vent grille. Remove lint and ensure good airflow.
• Avoid overloading: Dry smaller loads and separate heavy items from light ones to improve air circulation.
• Test moisture sensor: Clean the metal moisture sensor bars inside the drum with vinegar to remove softener film that can affect automatic programs.
