Dryer Not Drying Clothes - The Cause and The Solution

[@zman6288]

Great video Dryer wasn't drying and guess what The pull out screen is holding water like a Puddle Thank you I'm going to clean it and see how it goes

[@hightops77]

I would have never thought of putting water on the screen in a million years. I tried it and the water went through but after cleaning it with dish soap and brush , it goes through much stronger now..thanks dude 😄😄

[@liaisonguy]

Boom, solved my problem immediately again! I removed the flexible vent duct and found lint clogging it. Cleaned it out and I'm back up and running perfectly. Thanks again!

[@alisonbeeler8270]

I can’t thank you enough that was exactly the problem.If I would’ve sent a technician out here he would’ve probably charged me an atm and a leg for this simple fix.Your a life saver much thanks!!

[@soleil777soleil]

Thank you for the video. I cleaned out the filter and scrubbed it with soap. They rinsed it with hot water. Let it dry out. But that wasn't the problem. While cleaning behind the dryer with a filter stick, I accidentally punctured a hole in the coil foil thing. My dryer was blowing out heat but wasn't drying the clothes. We replaced it and all is good. Bought the part from Home Depot, it cost $16 dollars. It's the thing that looks like a slinky made out of foil. But the hubby fixed it, and it's perfect now. Yippee! 🤗

[@Tiosha820]

Oh my goodness. THIS really helped me. How often should you clean those? Can you buy replacement filters? I’m vowing to never use dryer sheets again.

THANK YOU FOR SENDING WORD OF ADVICE INFO FROM HAWAII, IM LEARNING A LOT FROM YOU.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

You're welcome! Glad to hear the videos are useful!

[@banjodon9851]

Thanks, this really helped! When I pulled the dryer out I found that the exhaust hose was kinked and there was hardly any room for the air to flow through. It was a metal flex vent so I straightened it out as best I could and kept the dryer farther out from the wall for a temporary fix,. It seems to be drying fine, but I am ordering a new hose for it! Appreciate the tip for the simple fix, I was about to replace the heating element!

[@scorpioroyalty6942]

Wow!!! Let me try that because I have taken my dryer apart trying to see why I have to run to cycle all of a sudden. If it’s not that lint screen I’ll have to climb on my roof to see the vent trap🤦🏽‍♀️

I had to leave my welding career bc holding my neck in the same position for long hours it would start hurting!! I can do everything physically I used to could do so I am ready to begin my property maintenance career!! Keep making the videos cause they teach me alot and I enjoy them!! You're really good and straight to the point at explaining stuff!! Im sure you've said it but I must've missed it, where are you from??

[@WordofAdviceTV]

That's great!! Sounds like you are really motivated and have the will and persistence to achieve what you set out to do. Congratulations on a good start and good luck with the career! Glad to hear that my videos have been helpful for you!! We recently moved from Minnesota to Hawaii 🤙🤙

[@neves78702]

thank you, i checked outside and the vent outside was completely clogged. We just had our dryer vent cleaned out and i guess all the lint got pushed to the out vent and clogged up. thanks again for saving me the hassle and money of calling someone out.

[@thefamilyoflitation1331]

Thank you so much 🎉my outdoor trap was definitely clogged with a little lint ball that was a little moist maybe from the rain today

[@roberts1159]

[@volpe1970]

Love your videos! You teach me so much! I'm a beginning flipper/tech and really appreciate your presentation and content.

[@-AnyWho]

there is a primary and a secondary Coil (not sure what it's called) that acts as a safety that will break if it can't breathe properly. if everything appears to be working but simply not getting heat then this is usually the culprit unless it's your ignitor. those coils are being made cheaper and cheaper all the time cuz they want them to break if you're not cleaning your filter each time ... a quick tip: if you soak that ball of lint you get from the filter with some melted wax you'll end up with really long burning fire starters for camping fires or whatever. what I do it soak the lint ball with wax then coat the surface of the ball with a little extra wax then when you are ready to use it, just pull up a piece of the lint up to lite it and put it in the center of the fire ... it will burn a very long time so you can start your fire around it.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

I think what you are referring to are the gas valve coils. They do fail pretty often as well! Thank you for pointing that out. I enjoyed the fire starting tip too, that sounds interesting! I will need to try that some time 😄

[@VeroBeachNYJets]

Yup my vent line was full of water from a recent bad storm and caused a lint backup… thanks again!

[@billhandymanbill2775]

Good dryer tips and video. But I would still have checked the dryer exhaust vent for excessive lint especially since they didn’t clean the dryer vent screen, the wouldn’t have cleaned dryer vent ductwork either!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Thank you! Yes, I should have filmed that part as well. I looked at it before the video. This dryer is sitting outside so the exhaust is right behind the dryer which is not how most people have it set up.

[@YT-User1013]

Nice video. I think that my issue is that the washing machine is not spinning the water out like it used to so some loads will not dry in the dryer and others do just fine. Don't forget to check this too.

[@ncooty]

Clean the washer (e.g., run empty load with hot water and sodium percarbonate). Then, in future loads, put white vinegar in the "fabric softener" reservoir. That should clean the unit and improve the drainage.

Maybe one day! I barely did any commercial work in Minnesota so it would be a new experience.

[@RWM1955]

Dryer sheets can stick to exhaust vent inside the dryer and block the airflow. My dryer two or more cycles to dry a load. I went through all the typical fixes, finally I discovered that the belt pulley was split. The dryer appeared to rotate normally but apparently it was not rotating fast enough because after replacing the pulley it works like new again.

[@thelma.ridener1924]

Seeing that lint trap makes me think I can wait more than every load to clean it😂

[@SuperJeremi10]

My dryer, after 1 full cycle, the clothed come out warm and still very wet. I cleaned out the vent, and the dryer still has the issue of dryer vents hard out the exhaust but blows warm, not hot. It takes like 3 cycles to dry. I finally got fed up and just purchased a new dryer. I hope it solves the issue. I don't want to Pau a repairman to fix a 15 year old dyer. I'd rather spend the money on a new one. I was hoping to try and fix it, but I can't figure it out it's been drying this way for a month and I've had wnough.

[@SuperJeremi10]

My new dryer arrives December 22nd, so I'll post whether or not it fixes my issue. I've paid to have my vent exhaust cleaned. Yes, it was bad, but unfortunately, it wasn't the issue with my dyer. I have a feeling it's the dryer even though I have checked it for lint as well and has plenty of air coming out the exhaust vent same as on back if dryer when disconnected. It just won't heat up all the way. We've checked the voltage going to the dryer too it's good.

how did someone go through life not knowing to clean the lint trap?

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Possibly moved from apartments where they never had to do this, first time homeowners, or previously had a dryer with a lint screen in the front so they didn't know any better. I've seen this quite a few times before so it's not as surprising any more. 😅

I just installed a nest thermostat & now my heater keeps turning on & off every 10 minutes I looked on nest site & it says it can control a 3 speed fan but I have a 4 speed fan any help would be appreciated for now I'm just going to put the old carrier thermostat back on & return the nest

[@WordofAdviceTV]

I would first try turning off the auto schedule on it and see if perhaps that's what was causing it. I don't remember which video, but in one of the few Nest thermostat videos I have, I show how to do that.

[@-AnyWho]

I'm not a nest expert but it sounds like you got the settings messed up a bit. every stat has settings for different types for heating arrangements and whether it's forced air, boiler, gas, oil, and # of stages and what you want it to do ... I would say you don't have it wired up correctly or settings are off a bit for your particular setup.

[@brianklein6387]

I appreciate your help but I removed blower & cleaned coils with vacuum replaced all filters even though 2 out of 4 were clean & few days later nest is happy & been working great I think I just needed to clean everything up & replace filters because that's all I did & everything works great now

[@luciaspringmountain4740]

My dryer is turning on and it is rolling normally but that’s about it, it’s just rolling the clothes around and no actual air is coming out. I checked the filter and it looked fine. Trying to find a way to fix the problem without spending money.

[@unknown11215]

Is this for any dryer ?

[@tb2324]

So question. What if the venting is clear. But dryer taking two times to dry towels? Dryer gets hot. Still venting problem. I bought an indoor vent kit to test. Everything dries super fast. The venting had 90 on wall, then vertical about 8’, another 90, then horizontal run of about 15’. It’s vented out the soffit. I can’t get up there to see, but opening appears small. It’s a townhouse. Other folks have no issues I’ve talked to. My GE manual shows it can vent like 35’ with two 90s. It’s about 10 years old or more. Can a dryer have an issue where it’s just not producing the volume of air it was designed to push? If so, the vent that goes vertical then horizontal with two 90s may be too much now. Any thoughts?

Hey we've been having similar issues with this exact model drier. I've tried all of the suggestions in your video and ensured that there is no lint buildup anywhere. I've even taken apart the drier and made sure there is no lint behind where the removable trap is. Our clothes are hot but not dry even after 4 heavy loads on high temp. The exhaust vent outside is not blowing any air even though everything is connected properly (that I can see) and there is absolutely no lint buildup anywhere. Any ideas?

[@ncooty]

Guesses: The tub isn't spinning (e.g., broken drive belt) or the fan isn't blowing.
