W/dryer does not dry!

[mummyandbaby]

My washer dryer is very temperamental on the drying cycle. Drying sheets/towels etc is often so difficult as they come out damp and hot. Any advice please?

They usually only dry half a washload at a time, make sure you're not trying to dry too much in one go.

does the filter need cleaning I find if my dryer is on the blink its cos the filter is full of fluff and cant drain so the washing is just steaming.

IME they never work as well as a separate washer and dryer. I have used three awful washer/dryers that are worse than useless. Put the clothes on the radiators and your sheet spread over four chairs if you can't hang them outside. I know have a separate dryer and continue to be amazed that after half an hour, as opposed to three hours in combined one, the sheets are actually dry.
