Why Is Your Dryer Taking Long To Dry Clothes

2 .  Washer Leaves Clothes Too Wet

When you find your washer leaving clothes damp, the washer could be responsible. Selecting a wash setting without a spin cycle or an insufficient spin cycle leaves clothes too wet when they enter the dryer. Consequently, a standard drying cycle is not enough to dry these items. It is also possible that a washer malfunction is leaving clothes too wet after a wash. Before you begin a wash cycle check your settings to make sure they include a sufficient spin cycle. If clothes remain too wet after washing, your washer may require professional service.

3.  Dryer Lint Screen Needs Cleaning

Our clothes shed tiny pieces of fabric fiber with each drying cycle. The dryer’s hot air blows these fibers around and into the lint screen. When the screen is full of lint, it can prevent the proper circulation of hot air, leading to longer drying times. To maximize airflow, clean your lint screen after each drying cycle. Simply pull out the screen, remove the lint and replace it.
