A dryer tleaves clothes damp at the end of the cycle is one of the most common appliance issues. The cause may seem simple — “it just doesn’t heat” — but the heating system in a dryer depends on several components working together: airflow, heating element or gas burner, thermostat, sensors, and venting. Understanding how these parts interact helps diagnose problems quickly and avoid unnecessary replacements.
