Washer-dryer combo takes an unusually long time to dry clothes or never fully dries them.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning internal ducts.

Steps:

• Clean lint filter: Remove and clean the lint filter before every load.
• Check venting: For vented Café combos, inspect and clean the entire exhaust duct from the unit to the outside.
• Load size: Avoid overloading; clothes should tumble freely.
• Clean moisture sensor: Wipe the internal moisture sensor bars with alcohol to remove residue.

When to call a technician: If drying remains poor with good airflow and clean sensors, heater or control issues may be present.
