Possible Causes

Clogged lint filter, Blocked exhaust vent, Crushed vent hose, Weak blower fan

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing panels or ducts.

  • Clean lint filter: Remove and thoroughly clean the lint screen before every load.
  • Inspect venting: Disconnect the vent hose from the back and check for lint buildup or obstructions all the way to the outside hood. Clean or replace as needed.
  • Test airflow: Run the dryer briefly with the vent disconnected. If drying improves, the external vent is restricted.
  • Inspect blower: Access the blower wheel and housing; remove lint and ensure the wheel is firmly attached to the motor shaft.
