Why does my Kenmore Dryer take so long to dry clothes?
Several factors can cause your Kenmore dryer to take too long. Ensure you're separating heavy items from lightweight ones, as heavy fabrics retain more moisture and require longer drying times.

If a fuse is blown or a circuit breaker tripped, reset it or replace the fuse.

Excess static can also attract lint, refer to the section about static in clothes.
Why is there excess static in clothes after drying in my Kenmore 796.8099?
Excess static in clothes after drying in your Kenmore dryer can be due to several reasons. Try using a fabric softener, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Stains on dried clothes may also be stains that weren’t removed during washing, so ensure clothes are completely cleaned according to the instructions for your washer and detergent.
Why is the drying time not consistent on my Kenmore 796.8099?
Inconsistent drying times with your Kenmore dryer can occur if heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing varies. The drying time depends on the heat setting, type of heat used (electric, natural, or LP gas), load size, fabric types, wetness of clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filter.
