Dryer taking ages or leaving lint on clothes

Every load sheds fluff, and the lint filter catches it before it can build up in the dryer's ducting and heater area. A filter with a torn mesh lets lint straight through, coating clothes, clogging the air path and increasing the risk of overheating. A missing or broken filter frame has the same effect. Signs include longer drying times, a hot cabinet, a burning smell and lint collecting behind the dryer or on the wall around the vent. Cleaning the filter after every load and replacing it once the mesh is damaged keeps the dryer working safely.

Fitting the lint filter

With the dryer switched off and the door open, remove the old filter, noting how it sits. Before fitting the new one, vacuum any loose fluff from the filter area and around the door opening. Fit the new filter the same way round, pressing until it sits flush with no gaps for lint to sneak past. Never run the dryer without the filter in place.

Questions about this part

How often should I clean the lint filter?

After every load. A clean filter keeps air moving freely, cuts drying times and reduces the fire risk from lint build-up. If the mesh is torn or the frame is cracked, replace the filter rather than keep cleaning it.
