I have a roper dryer. I put it on timed dry and it has been running for about 3 hours, but my clothes are wet
Question:
Answers:
first... i would pull off the back and check for debris in the inner vent line! second... when the machine is running, check to see if the heater coil is getting red(hot) if not you may need to replace it(not a hard thing to do at all) and third... if your dryer is running that long without resetting it you definitely need a new timer!!!
checking and or fixing these will not only solve your problem but give longer life to your dryer as well!!
I had this problem with my dryer - my heating coil had gone bad. We had it repaired, but it still didn't work right - we ended up having to just buy a new dryer.
I think you should turn it off if you haven't already. Do they feel hot even though they are still wet?? If not you might need the heating element replaced...as well as the "blower". I would call out a local handyman to see if it worth fixing.
first most of the time its just clogged venting.Test this by turning on dryer with door open( you have to hold down the safety button located on the door) if you can see the elements turn on then stop dryer and vacuum all ducts including the one in the drum( the lint trap area). If the element did not turn on then call your local appliance parts store for a new element. I've replaced 3 myself and its pretty easy( the part came with instructions)
clean the lint trap and replace the heating element
Have you checked the lint trap?
was the heat button switched to a different setting
