Why does it take so long for my clothes to dry in my LG DLE5977W Dryer?

  Greg AndrewsAug 13, 2025
  If your clothes are taking too long to dry in your LG Dryer, consider these points: * Separate heavy and light items. * For large or heavy fabrics, use smaller, consistent-sized loads. * 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. * Check the fuse box/circuit breaker and replace the fuse or reset the breaker, as electric dryers often use two fuses or breakers. * For very small loads, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling.
