Clothing Wet at End of Cycle - Dryer

Does the home venting line need to be cleaned or tested?

If a dryer is heating but still has long dry times, the likely cause is a vent issue or restricted airflow. The venting going from the dryer to the outside of the home must be cleaned every one to two years or as needed when dry performance has decreased.  You can also contact a professional vent cleaning service and have your vent inspected for obstructions.

Regular dryer vent cleaning will:

• Reduce Drying Time
• Increase Air Flow
• Reduce Energy Cost

What cycle was selected?

Cycle selection is important.  If the clothes don't reach the desired dryness level, try selecting a different cycle, such as "More Dry"  or "Regular." 

Quick Dry and Rapid Dry are timed cycles designed to dry smaller loads. If clothes are too wet after the cycle has been completed, try running the Quick Dry or Rapid Dry cycle again. For best performance, use an automatic cycle.

Was a Steam Cycle selected?

Steam cycles are optimized for large, normal, or heavy loads. Using this feature with smaller loads could result in wet spots or condensation on the door or interior drum. The dryer will automatically tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount of moisture into the load to help reduce static and relax wrinkles. This option adds approximately 3-8 minutes to the total cycle time.

It is recommended to use this cycle, with wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics, as it is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from dry loads. Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only garments are not recommended.

Refer to How the Steam Option Works for more information 

Is the dryer level?

If the dryer is not level, clothes may not come into contact with the moisture sensors during Automatic cycles. See your Owner's Manual for leveling instructions.  Learn how to use your phone to level household appliances.
