01 · BEFORE BOOKING
A simple check.
Clean the lint screen before each load and confirm that a heated cycle is selected. Avoid overloading and check whether laundry leaves the washer unusually wet.
02 · UNDERSTAND THE SYMPTOM
What it could mean.
Long drying times can involve a restricted exhaust path or a heating fault. A drum that turns does not prove that the heating system works.
03 · THE NEXT STEP
When diagnosis helps.
I check heating, temperature control and airflow to separate an appliance repair from a dryer vent issue. Replacing a heater alone will not resolve a blocked vent.
This is general guidance, not a diagnosis of your appliance. Follow the owner’s manual for your exact model. Internal electrical, gas and refrigerant work belongs with a qualified professional.
