This is the MOST COMMON REASON why dryers take a long time to dry. If you've already been emptying the lint filter between each load of laundry and cleaning your dryer's venting regularly, check to make sure your dryer's venting isn't too long (35 feet long is the MAXIMUM according to U.S. building and fire safety codes), doesn't have too many bends (every 45-degree bend counts as an additional 2.5 feet of length and every 90-degree bend counts as 5 extra feet), and is 4 inches in diameter. If your dryer's venting is kinked, crushed, too long, too narrow, etc., all of those factors will make it take longer to dry your laundry (and can be a fire hazard!).
