Possible Causes

Clogged lint filter or condenser, Insufficient spin speed before drying, Overloaded drum during drying, Faulty moisture sensor misreading dryness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before cleaning internal components.

  • Step 1 – Clean lint filter and condenser: Remove all lint and rinse the condenser if removable.
  • Step 2 – Improve spin: Ensure the wash cycle uses a high spin speed, or run an extra spin before drying.
  • Step 3 – Reduce load size: Dry smaller loads; washer-dryer combos have lower drying capacity than washing capacity.
  • Step 4 – Clean moisture sensors: Wipe the metal sensor bars inside the drum with vinegar or mild detergent to remove residue.
  • Step 5 – Sensor or heater fault: If performance remains poor, the dryer heater or sensors may be failing and should be tested as in E06/E19.
