To turn Control Lock off, turn the dryer on and then press and hold the button that has Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds. Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes? Drying time depends on airflow. Proper airflow is critical for efficient dryer operation. If the lint filter is full of lint or clogged with fabric softener sheet residue, airflow can be reduced and the time needed to dry clothes can increase a lot. The manual also says to see the troubleshooting charts for more tips. Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes? This is normal behavior when Wrinkle Care is on. After the cycle ends, the dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours. The feature is meant to help prevent wrink",

This is normal when any of the following changes: - load size - fabric type - how wet the clothes are - the condition of the lint filter An unbalanced load in the washer can also cause poor spinning.
