Do the Fisher Paykel Dryers DGGX1 take twice the drying time of a normal (Kenmore) dryer to dry cloths? I put in a load of towels and after an hour and a half they still weren't dry. My other dryer would have taken about 1 hour or so to completely dry them.

Hi,

If your dryer is not drying like it once did or if you just have nottaken the time to give yourself a clean dryer in a long time then youneed to do that. At least once a year the dryer cleaning should takeplace. Lint build up in the dryer duct is one of the main causesfor your dryer to fail.

Go to http://fisherpaykelparts.net/techhelp/fisher-paykel-top-load-dryers-us-models/ This forum will work you through your problem. Your problem should either be dirty or bad connections with the contact continuity plates, the chrome things under the lint bucket or the control circuit.

Greetings,
The heating elements do not cost $200 USD buy $80 for both; available online from the most common Fisher-Paykel parts supplier.
Good luck

Check your cvent going outside. also check to see if the vent is smashed. try using the time dry cycle and see how your clothes turn out. if they are still wet or damp. you have a heating problem. try those solutions.
