Possible Causes

Clogged lint filter, Blocked condenser or heat exchanger, Restricted airflow in ducts, Weak dryer heater or faulty thermostat

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning.

  • 1. Clean lint filter: Remove and clean the lint filter before every drying cycle.
  • 2. Clean condenser/heat exchanger: If removable, rinse the condenser thoroughly and clear all lint from fins and channels.
  • 3. Check airflow: Ensure vents and internal ducts are not blocked by lint or objects.
  • 4. Verify load size: Do not exceed the specified drying capacity; separate heavy cottons from synthetics.
  • 5. If still poor: The dryer heater or thermostat may be weak or faulty and should be tested and replaced if necessary.
