Clothes Won't Dry
I recently used the steam feature for the first time several weeks ago. Now all of a sudden the clothes will run in the dryer for 40 minutes and be just as damp as when I put them in. The whole inside of the dryer becomes wet. My husband disabembled the vent line from the dryer that runs outside and removed the lint/water. This did not fix the problem. What do we do? Please help.
