No, it is completely abnormal and inefficient for a residential clothes dryer to take four hours to dry a load of laundry. A normal load of damp clothing and linens should dry completely in forty-five to sixty minutes under proper heat and ventilation. If a cycle takes four hours, it indicates a severe exhaust vent blockage trapping massive amounts of moisture, a collapsed flexible duct, or a failed heating element operating at half capacity. You can troubleshoot drying times easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when cleaning a severely clogged exhaust duct or repairing heating circuits reduces cycle times back to normal levels.
