When a clothes dryer generates heat and gets warm inside the drum, but clothes still emerge damp or wet after a full cycle, the issue is typically caused by a severely restricted or clogged exterior exhaust vent duct, a blocked lint screen, or a malfunctioning moisture sensor bar. If lint buildup prevents hot, humid air from venting outside the home, the moisture remains trapped inside the rotating drum. You can troubleshoot airflow easily by checking the outdoor vent flap. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when cleaning lint out of the exhaust duct, washing the metal lint screen with soap, or clearing the outdoor vent flapper allows unrestricted airflow and dries clothes completely in one cycle.
