Clothes are not drying satisfactorily

Check the following:

Is the lint screen clogged with lint?

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, restricting air movement? Run the dryer for

5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with a heavy metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.

Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with a heavy metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.

Has a fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped? Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or breakers. The drum may be turning but you may not have heat.

Has an air dry cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried (see “Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips”).

Is the automatic cycle ending early? The load may not be contacting the electronic sensor strips, level the dryer.

For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grill? Use only one fabric softener sheet and only use it once.

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below 45ºF (7ºC)?

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45ºF (7ºC).

Was a cold rinse water used? Was the load very wet? Expect longer drying times with items rinsed in cold water and with items that hold moisture (cottons).

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? Separate the load to tumble freely.
