Possible Causes

High ambient humidity, Clogged condenser or lint passages, Faulty moisture sensor (if equipped), Low dryer heater output

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal cleaning.

  • Clean airflow path: Thoroughly clean lint filter, condenser, and internal ducts.
  • Check room conditions: Ensure the unit is in a well-ventilated area; ventless combos rely on room air to condense moisture.
  • Load size and fabric: Dry smaller loads and avoid very heavy fabrics together.
  • Moisture sensor: If your Danby model has drum moisture sensors, clean the metal strips inside the drum with vinegar to remove film that can affect sensing.
