it is normal for clothes to be a bit wet after spin.approximately about 80 percent of your clothes will be dry after spin. you may hang your clothes to completely dry or place it inside a drier machine
Jimbo, this dryer uses a cyling thermostat to turn the heater on and off. If your vent is pinched or clogged, or the vent to the outside is clogged, you are going to have long dry times and damp clothes. Try doing a load with the vent disconnected from the back of the dryer. If everything turns out ok, then it's a venting issue. Catriver
The lint filter may be clogged or the dryer vent is clogged , preventing air circulation. If the vent goes outside, an animal may have put a nest in it.
You have one of 2 problems. Your clothes are getting put into the machine too wet because the washer isn't spinning them out all the way. Or you have a clogged vent causing the unit to take too long to dry properly because it can't remove the moisture properly. Check your vent outside to see how hard the dryer is blowing the air.
Turn the dryer off, unhook the exhaust tube, and make sure it isn't clogged. Also check to make sure the outside exhaust vent isn't blocked or clogged with anything.
there are 3 reasons for a dryer not doing the job yet running through the motions. 1st, the heat is not being produced and only cool room temp air is circulating. this can be a burned-out electric element or an over-heat sensor, or in0line safety fuse. ( if gas, can be ignitor or gas valve coils).. It could be that the washer is not ringing (spinning) dry the clothes verywell and there is too much moisture stiil in clothes which would double the dry time from 50-60 minutes to 2 hours. 3rd, could be clogged vent line and the hot moist air cannot leave the dryer so the clothes get hot by the moisture stays.
If your machine is running properly and you have heat as you say then you may have a clog in the main vent line from the dryer through your house.
Try running the dryer once with the vent hose disconnected. If it dries your know the clog is in the house's vent line. Unusual but it does happen if you have a lot of lint.
Check first at the immediate opening point in the wall there is often a 90 degree elbow where lint can trap.
The other place is the cover plate on the outside of your house. Some at are static and others have vents that open and close. Those too can trap lint and cause a problem.
If you know you have a clog in the house line somewhere but the opening and exit are not clogged then take a drain auger (same as used to clear a clogged toilet) and run it through. If you don't have one try your garden hose.
if the heat is only staying on for a few seconds and cutting out the vent line could be clogged,pull out the dryer,remove the vent line from the back and start it,if the heat stays on the vent is blocked,this is the easiest thing to start with,if the vent is clogged you can try a leaf blower and blow the lint out of the vent line
I know you cleaned the lint vent but your vent hose is clogged or damaged and there is no air exchange thru the dryer Air can only hold 100% humidity. You could dry your clothes for 10 hours but the air in the dryer is saturated with water and can not hold anymore so your clothes wont dry. Check behind your dryer and Ill bet the vent line is damaged. The problem is the air is not getting out of the dryer. Check the flapper at the end of the vent line. With the dryer running go to the end of the vent hose and there will be no air coming thru.
thank you
