I think it’s also related to the number of items you put in, and theres a safety setting that doesn’t let it get too hot to prevent fires. I think maybe the cabin gets too hot if there are less items giving off moisture, and so less items will always come out a bit damp.

I had this issue drying underwear, so now I just use an indoor drying rack and air dry. If your heating vents are on the ceiling then you can just place the drying rack under the ceiling vent when you have heat on in the winter :) Air drying is pretty good in the hotter seasons too, might take 24hrs though vs 3-4hrs with heating vent in winter.

Dryers cycle the heating element. It'll never get too hot as long as the air can flow.
