    Why does my LG Dryer take so long to dry?
    • E

      To potentially resolve this issue, try these steps: * Separate heavy and lightweight items when loading the dryer. * Dry heavy fabrics in smaller, consistent loads to maintain drying times. * Use the correct control settings for your load type. * Ensure the lint filter is clean before each load. * Verify the exhaust venting ductwork is properly configured and free of obstructions. Also, check that the outside wall dampers move freely and are not blocked. * Check your home's fuse box or circuit breaker and reset or replace if necessary. Electric dryers typically use two fuses or breakers. * Divide larger loads into smaller ones. * For small loads, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling.
