Inspect the door gasket for cracks, tighten hose connections, and ensure the unit is level (adjust legs if wobbly).

Add 1 cup vinegar to the rinse cycle or hang clothes in sunlight. For front-loaders, leave the door open between washes.

Check the heating element, thermal fuse, and thermostat for continuity with a multimeter. Replace if faulty.

Disconnect the vent hose, use a vent brush or vacuum attachment, and remove lint buildup inside and outside the dryer.
