Maytag Centennial Dryer

[roscoe62]

I have this dryer and it may be four/five years old at best and not completely drying bands on socks or the pockets in denim? I have put a new vent on and it is venting well but it just doesn't dry like it did in the beginning, any suggestions?

Sensor Bars

Have you cleaned the sensor bars?

A model number and/or picture would be very useful!!

Does this dryer have a moisture sensor? If it does, I'd suggest scrubbing the metal sensor strips in the drum with dishsoap and water (don't forget to rinse and dry off!) and see if that helps. Sometimes build-up from liquid fabric softener or dryer sheets can confuse the dryer into thinking the clothes are drier than they really are. Also, I would scrub the lint trap with hot water, dishsoap, and a soft bristle brush to remove any softener buildup that could restrict air flow.

Scrubbing the sensors and the lint trap with soap and rinsing & dry off before replacing.
