    Why are my clothes not drying in my tumble dryer?

    If your clothes are not drying properly in your tumble dryer, there could be several reasons for this issue:

    • Overloading: Overloading the dryer can prevent proper air circulation, resulting in longer drying times or incomplete drying. Ensure that the drum has enough space for the air to move freely around the clothes.
    • Incorrect Settings: Make sure you’ve selected the appropriate drying cycle for the type of load you’re drying. Different fabrics and load sizes may require different settings.
    • Clogged Filters: A clogged lint filter can restrict airflow, reducing the dryer’s efficiency. Make sure to clean the lint filter before or after each use.
    • Blocked Vents: For vented tumble dryers, a blocked vent or hose can impede the flow of hot air, causing poor drying performance. Check that the vent hose is clear and properly connected and ensure that the external vent is not obstructed.
    • Heat Source Issues: If the dryer is not generating heat, there might be an issue with the heating element or thermostat. For heat pump and condenser dryers, ensure that the water tank is emptied regularly, and the condenser unit is clean.
    • Drive Belt Problems: If the drum is not turning correctly, it could be due to a faulty drive belt. Try manually spinning the drum; if it feels too easy or difficult to turn, there may be an issue with the belt.
    • Electrical Issues: Electrical faults, such as a malfunctioning switch or timer, can affect the dryer’s performance.
