    Clean out the dryer lint if it shuts down prematurely. There’s probably some kind of safety tripping, and ignoring safety mechanisms on your dryer is how you burn your house down.

      The model picured there is a Bosch ventless condenser dry machine, which must also have the condenser periodically cleaned. It pulls out from the front, behind a hatch on the lower left.

      I think Bob needs to RTFM this time.

        I figured this was a ventless dryer, as the standard heated kind basically never fail to dry things if you just clean the lint trap. And I even used one at someone’s apartment that had clearly never been cleaned but it still dried after twice the usual duration. I took it apart for them and pulled out two garbage bags full of lint… I still can’t believe that hadn’t caught fire on them.

          It depends on how full you stuff the dryer and how large the pieces are. I sometimes have issues with bed sheets, when they hug each other into an undryable ball. My dryer won’t even start when it detects the air flow is impaired.
