Why is the drying process taking so long in my Russell Hobbs Dryer?

  If the drying process of your Russell Hobbs Dryer is taking longer than usual, several factors could be at play. The lint filter might be clogged, so try washing it with lukewarm water. The condenser might also be clogged and needs cleaning. Ensure that the ventilation grills are open to prevent the room temperature from rising too much. A layer of limescale on the humidity sensor can also cause this issue, so clean the humidity sensor. Avoid overloading the dryer with laundry, and make sure your laundry is sufficiently spun by selecting a higher spin speed on your washing machine.

Check if the lint filter or the condenser are clogged and clean them if needed.
