Problem
Clothes take too long
to dry
Possible Causes
Improper sorting
Large loads of heavy
fabrics (like beach towels)
Controls improperly set
Lint filter is full
Improper or
obstructed ducting
Blown fuses or tripped
circuit breaker
Overloading/
combining loads
Underloading
What To Do
Separate heavy items from
•
lightweight items
(generally, a well-sorted
washer load is a well-
sorted dryer load).
Large, heavy fabrics
•
contain more moisture
and take longer to dry.
Separate large, heavy
fabrics into smaller loads
to speed drying time.
Match control settings to
•
the load you are drying.
Clean lint filter before
•
every load.
Check installation
•
instructions for proper
ducting/venting.
Make sure ducting is
•
clean, free of kinks and
unobstructed.
Check to see if outside
•
wall damper operates
easily.
Check the Installation
•
Instructions to make sure
the dryer venting is correct.
Replace fuses or reset
•
circuit breakers. Since
most dryers use 2 fuses/
breakers, make sure both
are operating.
Do not put more than one
•
washer load in the dryer
at a time.
If you are drying only one
•
or two items, add a few
items to ensure proper
tumbling.
