If you find that you're having issues and problems with your dryer, have a look at these points to help you pout before getting in contact with us.

 

1. Make sure it isn’t overloaded

When you squeeze too many clothes into the dryer (an attempt to do fewer loads of laundry, no doubt), you decrease the airflow needed to properly dry clothes, which might explain why your clothes come out hot but not dry. Overloading also makes the dryer work harder, uses more energy, and increases drying time. It's suggested never filling the dryer drum more than three-quarters full.

 

2. Check the settings

Using the wrong setting to dry your laundry can definitely impact the time it takes to dry clothes. For example, if you select the air-dry setting or gentle cycle for a load filled with jeans, towels, and sheets, your laundry may come out damp because you chose a too-low setting. 

 

3. Clean the filter

Start by removing the screen by pulling it up, then gently remove the lint from the screen by hand and put the lint trap back. If you notice lint collecting on areas of the screen or plugging the mesh, the screen may be more difficult to clean by hand. That’s where a heavier cleaning comes in:

1. Roll the lint off the screen.

2. Wet both sides of the screen with hot water.

3. Scrub with a nylon brush, hot water, and liquid detergent to remove any buildup.

4. Rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly.
