We're here to support you with your dryer. There are a few possible causes when it comes to the unit taking a while to dry loads, such as improper sorting, the lint filter being full, or even large loads of heavy fabrics. We recommend referring to the troubleshooting section on page 12 of the owner's manual for guidance. Here is the link:

It is normal for the unit to make some interesting sounds while in operation. These include a squeak as it starts up, as well as the sound of the drum as it turns. For more information on sounds, you can visit here:

We would like to improve your unit's drying performance. We recommend sorting your load properly, Thick, heavy, bulky fabrics need more dry time than lightweight fabrics. Additionally, we recommend cleaning the lint filter every load.
