If your dryer takes too long to dry your clothes, you need a detailed inspection to determine the cause. Breakdowns are equally subject to both inexpensive devices and equipment of famous brands with an increased service life.
6 Causes and Solutions
Cause 1 Air Flow Problem
If the vent is clogged or partially clogged, it will restrict air flow through the dryer, greatly increasing drying time. To ensure proper dryer performance, you should clean the dryer ventilation system at least once a year.
Cause 2 Impeller
The impeller works with the drive motor to supply air to the drying drum. Lint clumps, socks, and small items of clothing can escape from the lint strainer and enter the impeller. In addition, the impeller sleeve can wear out, allowing it to become loose on the motor shaft. If something is blocking the impeller or it is damaged, it may take too long to dry clothes. To determine if the impeller is working properly, open the air vent and assess the strength of the air flow. If the air flow is weak, check the impeller for obstructions. If there are no obstructions, try turning the impeller by hand and if it is loose, replace it.
Cause 3 Gas valve solenoid
Gas dryers have two or more solenoid valve solenoids. Gas valve solenoids open the gas valve to allow gas to flow into the burner assembly. Sometimes the solenoid may shut off for a few minutes during a drying cycle, causing the dryer to take longer to dry clothes. To determine if one or more of the gas valve solenoids is broken, check the igniter. If the igniter glows and goes out, but does not light the gas, the gas valve solenoid is faulty. If one or more of the gas valve coils are defective, we recommend replacing them all in a set.
Cause 4 Heating element
The heating element heats the air before it enters the drying drum. If the heating element is burned out or if any other part of this unit is damaged, the dryer will not heat. To determine if the heating element is faulty, use a multimeter to check for continuity. If the continuity of the heater is broken, you should replace it.
Cause 5 Heating element unit
The heating element unit heats the air passing through it. If the heating element is burned out or if any other part of the unit is damaged, the dryer will not heat. If the dryer does not heat, it will use more time to dry clothes. To determine if the heating element is faulty, use a multimeter to check for continuity and if it is faulty, replace it.
Cause 6 Lint Filter
The lint filter may be clogged. Dryer sheets and fabric softener can leave residue on the lint filter, thereby reducing air flow. If the lint filter is clogged, we recommend to clean it.
