Possible Causes

Clogged lint filter, Restricted exhaust vent, Failed moisture sensor, Low heater output

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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.
