Check all of the above. Additionally:
• Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely.
• Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected
and cleaned annually.
• Use a 4" rigid metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
• Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may require
repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Make sure that your washer is draining properly and extracting adequate
water from the load.
• The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels and
restart the dryer.
• The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some items and
restart the dryer.
• Clean the lint filter.
• Seams, pockets, and other parts of clothing are harder to dry than others.
This is normal.
• Sort heavy and light items separately.
• Look for coins, loose buttons, nails, and other objects and remove them
immediately.
• Check the lint filter. Remove any items stuck inside the lint filter.
• Make sure the dryer is level and standing firmly on the floor.
• The dryer may hum due to air moving through the drum and fan. This is
normal.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off
during the drying cycle.
• The smell of paint, varnish, cleaning agents, and other household items
could have circulated in the air and entered the dryer. If you notice such a
smell, ventilate completely before using the dryer.
• If drying in an enclosed area, the dryer could cause the ambient
temperature to rise. Accordingly, make sure to open a window and
ventilate the area.
• Do not attempt to dry wet items after leaving them in the washer or dryer
for a long time.
• The load is too small. Throw in a few additional items like towels and try
drying again.
