We want to help with the drying performance of your dryer. Drying times will vary depending on the type of heat used, gas versus electric, the size of the load, the type of fabric, cottons hold more water than synthetics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ventilation. Using the proper venting material and ensuring that the vent ductwork is the proper length are very important to the operation of a dryer. We recommend using a solid metal vent pipe that is 4 inches in diameter for optimal operation. Four-inch-diameter flexible metal venting may also be used, but it can increase drying times. Also, check to make sure there are no obstructions in the ductwork. You will also want to make sure to remove and clean the lint filter after each use.
