Why does my Smeg Dryer take so long to dry?
- J
  Justin LewisAug 17, 2025
  A long drying time on your Smeg Dryer can be due to several factors. The lint filter surface may be clogged, so try washing it with lukewarm water. The heat exchanger might be clogged, requiring cleaning. Ensure 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, so clean the humidity sensor. Avoid overloading the dryer, and select a higher spin speed on your washing machine to ensure laundry is sufficiently spun.

  If your Smeg Dryer won't start or open, there are several things to check: ensure the dryer is properly plugged into the socket, and that the loading door is fully closed. Verify that you've set a program and that the dryer isn't in Standby (Pause) mode. Also, check if the child lock is active and deactivate it if necessary. Finally, if there was a power failure, press the Start/Pause key to start the program.
