Washer-dryer leaves clothes very wet after drying; drying performance is poor or takes too long

Safety: Unplug before cleaning internal components.

• Clean condenser: If your Hoover has a removable condenser, take it out and rinse thoroughly to remove lint and scale.
• Clean lint filters: Remove and clean any accessible lint filters or screens.
• Check fan operation: Start a drying cycle and listen for the fan. If silent, investigate the fan motor as described in dryer fan fault entries.
• Load size: Do not exceed the specified drying capacity (usually lower than wash capacity). Overloading severely reduces drying efficiency.
