My clothes take too long to dry

There are many variables that determine the amount of time it takes to dry a load of laundry. Most loads should dry in under an hour. Maytag estimates that six bath towels (about 5 pounds of cottons) will dry in about 40 to 50 minutes. 12 pieces of permanent press (slacks, shirts, shorts, dresses) weighing about 5 pounds will dry in 30-40 minutes, including a cool down (to reduce wrinkling). Front load washers using max-extract will generally reduce drying time by 5 to 10 minutes. As load size increases so does drying time.

Many things increase drying time. Most of them have to do with heat and airflow.

1. Overloading. One washer load is one dryer load.

2. Obstructions in exhaust duct, or long exhaust duct.

A dryer duct can be up to about 40 feet long. It must be 4 inch ducting the entire way. Every 90 degree turn counts as 5 feet. Every 45 degree turn counts as 2.5 feet. No two turns should be closer than two feet apart because that causes turbulence and increases drying time.
The vent cover on the outside of the home should allow the full 4 inches of air flow to escape. It should not be restricted by plants or snow. The cover should remain on the hood to avoid birds, wasps, and rodents from building nests inside the vent.
Use only rigid vent material. The plastic or corrugated vents collect lint faster.

3. Mixing loads

Avoid mixing heavy and light clothes in loads.
Avoid washing only one item like a small rug, add a few things to that load to balance the washer and improve how much water is extracted in spin.

4. Not cleaning the lint filter.

A clean lint filter is essential to good drying times.

5. Wrong temperature setting.

There is no heat during an air fluff cycle. Use the correct temperature setting for the materials being dried.

6. Washer not spinning properly

If the washer doesn't extract most of the water, the dryer will take longer to compensate.

7. Check dryer settings for extended cool down settings.

Your dryer may be air fluffing at the end of the cycle, which is good for permanent press fabrics but slows drying for cottons.
