But my main curiosity and the reason I pinged you is...do you use yours with the provided cover ON the unit while running? There was nothing in any paperwork it came with that said to put it on or off. To me, more airflow is more effective so I tried it with the cover off.
But it seems it takes just as long as with it on.
You know, I never thought of running it without the cover in...just always assumed it was needed. I don’t seem to have an issue with drying time. Mine seems to do fine. Is your machine backing up against anything? I do know that fan in the back of the unit needs to get good circulation....is that a possibility?
