Everyone has experienced it: you take your laundry out of the dryer and it’s still damp. What could be going on? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one with this problem. There could be several reasons why your dryer is not drying properly. In this article, we discuss the most common causes and provide handy tips to solve this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humidity sensors in the dryer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important parts of a dryer are the humidity sensors. These sensors measure how much moisture is left in your laundry. If these sensors are dirty, they cannot work properly and the dryer stops too early or dries too long. Therefore, clean the sensors regularly with a damp cloth and a little soapy water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does my laundry stay damp?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This can have several causes. A common reason is a dirty condenser. If the condenser is clogged, moisture cannot be properly extracted from the warm air. The same goes for the lint filter. A clogged lint filter prevents air from flowing freely through it, resulting in damp laundry. Make sure you clean these parts regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drum too full?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another cause of poor drying can be a drum that is too full. Dryer programmes are set for a certain amount of laundry. If there is too much or too little laundry in the drum, the sensors cannot properly detect whether everything has dried properly. Try not to overfill the drum and stick to the recommended load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is drying taking so long?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The dryer may also take longer to dry the laundry. This could be caused by a clogged lint filter. The lint filter traps lint and fibres from clothes and should be cleaned after every drying cycle. If this is not done, the warm air cannot circulate properly, leading to longer drying times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you clean the sensor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The sensor is usually located in the rib of the drum. It is best to clean the sensor with a damp cloth and soapy water. Do this regularly to prevent your dryer from malfunctioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dryer not getting hot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dryer that doesn’t heat up is often caused by a clogged lint filter or condenser. If the lint filter is clogged, it won’t let warm air through and laundry won’t dry properly. Moreover, a clogged lint filter poses a fire risk: so clean it regularly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often should I empty the condensation tray?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dryer collects the moisture from your laundry in a condensation tray. It is important to empty the condensation tray after every drying cycle and clean it once in a while with some soapy water. This will prevent the dryer from not drying properly because of a full condensation tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning the condenser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will normally find the condenser at the bottom left of your clothes dryer, behind a flap. The part is attached with one or two fasteners that you need to unscrew. Also clean the area where the condenser sits. Make sure you replace the condenser when it is completely dry, not before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips to dry your laundry faster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Want your laundry to dry as quickly and efficiently as possible? Here are some tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Sort your laundry. Different fabrics have different drying times.<\/li>
  2. Don’t overfill the drum. Too full a drum will cause longer drying times.<\/li>
  3. Use a fast drying programme if your dryer has one.<\/li>
  4. Dry at a higher temperature, if the material allows it.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What is the lifespan of a tumble dryer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The lifespan of a clothes dryer depends on several factors, such as the type of dryer, how often you use it and the quality of its parts. The average lifespan of a dryer is between 5 and 10 years. Regular maintenance and cleaning can extend the life of your dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What happens if the filter gets clogged?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If the filter of your dryer gets clogged, it can cause clogging which will increase the pressure in the system and affect the operation of the other components. The compressor in particular is very sensitive to this. A clogged filter also causes the dryer to dry less well and can even lead to overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How often should you clean the condenser?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You should clean your dryer’s condenser unit about once a month to maintain optimal drying performance. Failing to do this can compromise the efficiency of the dryer and cause your laundry to not dry properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keep your dryer in top condition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A dryer that does not dry properly can have several causes, from dirty sensors to a full condensation tray. Regular maintenance and cleaning of important parts like the condenser and lint filter will keep your dryer working at its best. Follow the tips in this article to keep your dryer in top condition and make sure your laundry always dries properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
