All of them checked out OK or at least within a few percentage points of where they are supposed to be. Any other ideas? Again, the problem is I am not able to select lower temperatures while drying. Plenty of heat and of course tumbling and airflow, but I can't diminish the temperature. A solution would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
