Yes, running a residential clothes dryer for eighty minutes to dry a standard load of laundry is excessively long and indicates an underlying performance problem or severe exhaust airflow restriction. A normal load of damp clothing and linens typically requires between forty-five and sixty minutes to dry completely under proper heat and ventilation. If your cycles consistently reach eighty minutes or more, it usually means your exterior exhaust vent duct is heavily clogged with lint, trapping humidity inside the drum. You can troubleshoot drying durations easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when cleaning accumulated lint out of the exhaust duct and washing the metal lint screen reduces standard drying times back down to forty-five minutes.
