When an electric or gas clothes dryer heats up properly and feels warm inside the rotating drum, but clothes still emerge damp or completely wet after a full cycle, the issue is almost always caused by restricted or blocked airflow rather than a heating failure. If lint buildup 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, washing the metal lint screen with warm soapy water, and clearing outdoor vent flaps restores unrestricted airflow and dries clothes completely in one normal cycle.
