1 Clean filter.
This idea seems so basic that everyone groans when it's suggested. but take it very seriously. Cleaning the dryer lint filter after every load is probably the simplest way to save energy. Even a small amount of lint on the filter can restrict the airflow, which causes the dryer to compensate by running longer.
2 Auto Heat.
If your dryer has an Auto Cycle learn how to use it properly. The auto cycle compensates for the size and type of fabric that is being dried. Energy is saved because the drying time will be adjusted to insure the clothes come out dry in the least amount of time.
3 Clean venting.
The dryer venting should be cleaned every year. Lower the venting and clean out any lint buildup. Also clean the venting cap that direct the airflow outside. Lint will collect in the cap, plus the outside louvers that open and close whenever the dryer operates. Any venting restriction will slow airflow, which in turn slows moisture removal from clothes, and increase the drying time.
