If a dryer is drying slowly, the first thing that crosses the mind of an owner is that something is broken. However, the most common reason for poor performance is clogged venting. Even venting that looks and feels good may still have some restrictions. I have seen many things over the years, including birds building nests in the tube, as well as painters and roofers closing venting so that no air can get through. It is common to find venting problems where there are longer venting runs, venting within walls of multi-unit housing, or where the laundry area is more in middle of the house instead of the perimeter. One test for poor venting is to run your dryer with the venting disconnected (not recommended for gas dryers) and see if your dryer works faster. If yes, it is time to get the venting cleaned.
