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.
