Edit It's 17:08 now and it still shows 3 minutes
Edit 2 It's 17:15 now and it has been on 0 minutes for 3 full minutes....
Those aren't minutes, they're drying time units, which last as long as the dryer decides it wants them to last on any particular day.
Now I'm confused, how many drying time units are in a galactic standard week?
Depends how wet the week is.
I can understand the confusion, drying time units is actually a measure of distance not speed.
One thing I pride myself on is the ability to see through my dryer's bullshit. I know that 30 minutes really means 45 you damn liar.
Yeah I should have known, started the thing at 12:26 (actually know this because I called my wife to check if we had 3 hours and 38 minutes before we needed to go), its 17:18 and I just got the door open....
If you haven't already, clean the dryer vent thoroughly, including the whole exhaust vent leading outside. This should be done at least once a year. Once the vent is clear it should speed up drying, if not it might be the dryer itself and the manual might have solutions.
