Possible Causes

Clogged lint filter, Dirty condenser unit, Restricted internal airflow, Heater element partially failing, Overloaded drum during drying

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before internal cleaning.

  • Clean lint filter every load: Remove all lint from the filter before each drying cycle.
  • Clean condenser: If equipped, remove and rinse the condenser as described for E12.
  • Reduce load size: Dry smaller loads; overloading reduces air circulation and drying efficiency.
  • Check room temperature: Ventless combos dry more slowly in very cold or very humid rooms; ensure adequate ambient conditions.
  • Inspect heater (advanced): If drying remains poor, the heater element or thermostats may be failing and should be tested and replaced by a technician.
