Why Your Dryer Isn’t Drying — Common Causes and Quick Fixes

A dryer that takes too long to finish a cycle or leaves clothes damp can force your energy bills up and shorten the machine’s lifespan. In most cases, the issue is simple and avoidable.

A clogged vent restricts airflow, making your dryer run twice as long. Lint buildup can also overheat the appliance, creating a fire hazard. Worn heating elements or damaged thermostats are another common cause, especially in older units.

The Appliance Whisperer provides honest evaluations, same-day repairs, and full vent cleaning services. Our goal is to restore the efficiency of your dryer safely, saving you money while protecting your home.
