My kitchen-aid clothes dryer turns counter clockwise. Is this correct? The problem is the clothes stay against the drum and do not tumble inside the drum. I'm thinking that if it turned clockwise then the clothes would fall off the vanes easier?

If the vanes are straight out, it makes no difference. If the vanes are tilted one way or the other, it would. My Maytag turns counter clock wise. Could be they are not being spun dried enough?
