Amana NED4655EW 6.5 cu ft Electric Dryer 2400W Wrinkle Prevent Not Drying Error Fix: Clothes Not Drying Properly — Takes Too Long

Clothes require multiple cycles or extended time to dry. The most common cause is a clogged exhaust vent system. Disconnect the vent from the back of the dryer and run a test load — if it dries normally, the vent is the problem. Clean the entire exhaust duct from dryer to exterior vent hood. Check the vent hood flap for blockage. Clean the lint filter before every load. Also check: moisture sensor strips for dryer sheet residue buildup (clean with fine sandpaper), the felt drum seal around the drum edges for gaps allowing air leaks, and the blower wheel for lint clogging.
