Dryer is Not Drying Clothes

It could be frustrating when your dryer runs but the clothes are still not dry at the end of the cycle, and you have to run an extra drying cycle to dry one load of laundry. That is actually the first sign that your vent is clogged and needs cleaning.

A clogged vent is a fire hazard and requires immediate attention. It reduces airflow, decreases drying efficiency, and causes lint to accumulate inside the dryer, increasing the risk of fire. If you notice longer drying times, stop using the dryer and contact a vent cleaning specialist. We recommend cleaning the lint screen after every cycle and the dryer vent annually to keep your appliance safe and efficient.

A faulty internal component is another possible reason. Electric dryers use a heating element, while gas dryers use an igniter and a gas valve. If one of these parts fails, the dryer may tumble but produce no heat. Fixing these issues requires professional help. Overloading the dryer can also cause problems. Too many clothes restrict air circulation in the drum, leaving some clothes damp at the end of the cycle.
