When an electric or gas clothes dryer tumbles clothes normally and generates plenty of heat to make garments piping hot, but fails to actually dry them even after a long cycle, the malfunction is almost always caused by restricted or blocked airflow. If lint accumulation inside the exhaust duct, lint screen, or outdoor vent flapper prevents hot, moisture-laden air from escaping your home, the humidity remains trapped inside the closed drum, condensing back onto the garments. You can troubleshoot airflow restrictions easily by checking the outdoor vent hood while the dryer is running to see if a strong stream of warm air is emerging. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when cleaning accumulated lint out of the exhaust duct and washing the metal lint screen restores unrestricted airflow.
