I just bought a new Maytag washer and dryer from a local store, not a big box one. They were delivered Saturday and installed.
The dryer takes way, way over an hour to dry a load. The manual says one of the things to consider if clothes aren't drying is that the vent pipe may be too long. But it doesn't say how long is too long. The pull out lint filter is clean but I haven't checked the interior of the metal vent pipe. We had our old dryer hooked up the same way for over 30 years, since we moved here and it worked fine. It was also gas.
It is a lower end Maytag. Since I only do two loads or so per week I don't need anything fancy. But it says it is an energy efficient one. My two daughters are vacationing here for a while with their families and it's really getting a workout. What should I do before complaining to the store? And what can I ask them to do?
I have turned it to high temp. using both timed and sensor settings. Both take forever. Do any of you have any suggestions?
