Possible Causes
Blocked condenser or lint filter, Dryer heater partially failed, Moisture sensor contaminated, Insufficient spin speed before drying
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning dryer components.
Step-by-step checks:
- Maximize spin: Ensure the wash program uses maximum spin speed before drying, or run an extra spin cycle.
- Clean condenser and filters: Remove and rinse the condenser (if fitted) and clean all lint filters thoroughly.
- Clean moisture sensor bars: Wipe the metal strips inside the drum with vinegar to remove residue.
- Check load size: Do not overload the drum for drying; follow the reduced drying capacity specified for your Stoves combo.
If drying remains poor, the dryer heater or thermostats may be faulty and require testing and replacement.
