Hello Everyone!

I have been drying the same load of clothes all day. The dryer gets hot but the clothes are not drying? Please help!

Check filter and exhaust? If not that, you will need a meter?

Usually this is caused by poor airflow.Feel the dryer vent exhaust (Usually outside the house) If there isn't a strong blast of air coming out,check the lint screen and open up any dryer vent you can get to to check for clogging. Also check any flexable dryer vent for pinching. In some machines,if the drum is not turning, there will be no noise or other external symptoms. The clothes will simply be laying there in a big wet lump and they won't dry. The dryer probably won't sound normal either. To Diagnose, start the machine empty,open the door and look inside quickly,or depress the door switch to see if the drum is turning.If not, the belt or tensioner may be broken. Hope this helps.
