Close all buttons and zippers, and don’t dry jeans together with delicate laundry, regardless of whether your new dryer has a laundry-care drum. Most damage to clothing is caused by one piece of clothing rubbing against the other. Denim in particular has an abrasive effect. It seems like a no-brainer, but we all stuff the drum a little too much sometimes, which can eventually have unpleasant consequences. Try to stick to your dryer’s recommended load capacity: a packed drum not only dries your laundry less, but can also damage the dryer. Also make sure that you don’t use fabric softener for clothing that goes into the dryer. The substances in fabric softener get stuck on the sensors in the dryer and can cause malfunctions.
Clean the lint trap: The lint trap largely captures the dust that is released during drying. The lint trap is often located in the door or doorway, but this differs per brand and/or model. In the manual of your tumble dryer you can read exactly where the lint trap is.
The dryer has problems heating up. If your dryer fails to heat, check if the settings have been changed. Some dryers have a no-heat setting and only blow out air. If the setting is correct, but there is still no heat, it may be due to the electronic ignition. Again, this is a problem that needs immediate attention from a professional. Hazards of DIY Dryer Repair: The rise of DIY websites and online video tutorials have made people feel that the internet can solve any problem. The simple truth is, at times, you need the help of a professional to do the repairs. While it’s true you can rely on your skills for minor repairs, often it can get dangerous in a snap.

Clean the moisture sensor inside the dryer drum at least once per month. Dryer sheets leave a filmy coating on the sensor that will distort drying times. The sensor can be cleaned with a bit of isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol on a clean cloth or cotton swab. Clean the lint screen after every load. Lint – even a little – lengthens the drying time. If possible, install your dryer in a warm area. Unheated spaces make drying times longer. Install a rigid dryer vent system. A rigid dryer vent, as opposed to the flexible plastic vent, will attract and hold less lint and increase airflow for quicker drying. It will also help prevent fires from dryer lint. Choose the shortest possible route from the dryer to the outside for dryer vent systems. Clean the vents at least once per year to remove excess lint.
