The dryer dries clothes but I have to dry for hours. 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down Appliance Repair Staff answered 8 years ago Yes. Your dryer may tumble if it is missing the lint screen but may not heat, depending on your dryer model. Also, you may damage your dryer if you do not use the lint screen. Buy a replacement lint screen and see if that fixes your issue. Please login or Register to submit your answer Username or Email Address Password Remember Me
