Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed up drying time. Non-venting dryer. Condensing dryers usually take longer to dry than a vented dryer. Controls improperly set. Match control settings to the load you are drying. Lint filter is full. Clean the lint filter before every load. Blown fuses or tripped circuit breaker. Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating. Overloading/combining loads. Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time. Underloading. If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items to ensure proper tumbling. 30
