Possible Causes
Airflow restriction in ducts, Partially failed heater, Faulty temperature sensor, Overloading or high spin moisture
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before accessing rear panels or heater components.
- Improve wash spin: Ensure the washer is spinning at high speed and not leaving clothes overly wet. Address any spin issues first.
- Clean all airflow paths: Clean lint filter, condenser (if present), and internal ducts as described in other entries.
- Dry smaller loads: Avoid overloading; large, dense loads take much longer to dry.
- Check heater and NTC: If airflow is good but dry times remain long, the heater may be partially failing or the NTC misreading. Have these components tested and replaced if necessary.
