Possible Causes
Vented dryer exhaust not properly ducted outdoors, Leaking or disconnected exhaust hose, Condenser dryer used in very small unventilated room, Blocked condenser reducing efficiency
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure exhaust air is not directed toward electrical outlets or sensitive equipment.
- Check venting (vented models): Confirm that the exhaust hose is securely attached and leads outdoors. Seal gaps around the wall vent to prevent moist air from re-entering the room.
- Inspect hose for leaks: Replace damaged or perforated exhaust hoses that allow moist air into the room.
- Improve room ventilation (condenser/heat pump): Use the dryer in a room with adequate ventilation. Open a window or door slightly during operation.
- Clean condenser: On condenser models, clean the condenser unit to restore efficient moisture removal.
