Dryer Leaves Clothes Slightly Damp

I’ve been having some issues with my dryer - it’s leaving my clothes slightly damp after each cycle. I’m not sure what’s causing the issue, but I’m hoping someone can help me figure it out.

Thanks for posting your question! There are a lot of different things that could be causing your dryer to leave clothes damp. Can you give us some more details about what’s happening? For example, is the dryer spinning? Does it feel warm to the touch? And have you noticed any issues with the condenser filling up?

The dryer is spinning, but it doesn’t feel particularly warm. And I’m not sure about the condenser filling up - how would I check that?

If you’re not sure about the condenser filling up, you can try taking a look at the condenser unit and seeing if there’s any visible build-up. That could be causing the issue. Another thing to check would be whether the vent or the hoses leading to the dryer are blocked - that could prevent the hot air from circulating properly.

I took a look at the condenser unit and the vent, but they don’t seem to be blocked. And the dryer doesn’t feel particularly warm when it’s running, either.

If the dryer is spinning and the condenser and vent aren’t blocked, then it’s possible that the issue is just normal behavior for condenser or heatpump dryers. These types of dryers trap moisture from the clothes during the drying process, and they can sometimes leave the clothes feeling slightly damp. If your clothes are just slightly damp, that might be the cause of the issue.

That’s good to know. I wasn’t aware that this was normal behavior for condenser or heatpump dryers. Thanks for letting me know!
