the clothes get really hot, but they aren't drying even after 2-3 runs depending on what's inside. Also it squeaks very loudly. Any help is appreciated. I'm an above average mechanic with cars and motorcycles, but don't really know how these word, so I'm wondering if maybe I should even bother.
Sam,
A dryer function is really simple:
Gets hot, boils left over moisture from clothes and it needs to blow it out.
If it is getting hot and it is turning - Then your problem is in the exhaust system.
Check all pipes that carry moisture/steam/vapor out of your machine and make sure is free of any restrictions.
Good Luck

My dryer is running and not drying the clothes it also is making a squeaky noise when it runs. I have cleaned the tube in the back that lets the hot air outside and lint as well. It helped somewhat but the clothes are still damp after 1 cycle.

We have a roper dryer model # RED4440SQ0. Recently, it would not turn own unless you pulled back slightly on the timer dial. Today it will not turn on at all. Our guess was the timer is bad. I checked online for prices and it comes up at around $106. Would this also be your diagnosis? Does this price sound right? Thanks for your help! Carrie A. Adams
