Why Are My Clothes Coming Out of The Dryer Wet?

So, what causes a dryer to lose its drying ability? There are a couple of different possible scenarios, one of which is a full or partial blockage in the exhaust duct. If a buildup of lint and debris accumulates in the exhaust duct, it will prevent the moist hot, humid air from escaping; thus, resulting in wet clothes. You can perform a quick visual inspection of the duct by unplugging your dryer and pulling it away from the wall. Use a flashlight to look down inside the dryer portion of the exhaust and the duct running through the wall to see if there’s any debris blocking it.

Longer dryer exhausts are more susceptible to blockages since the lint and debris is forced to travel over a longer period of time. If the dryer exhaust is just 3-4 feet, the chance of a blockage is fairly low. On the other hand, exhausts over 5 feet in length tend to have a high chance of lint blockages.
