This is always the result of an air flow problem. Ensure you are not running the dryer in a closed room which would starve the dryer of air dramatically reducing the air over the clothes even if the full length of your vent is brand new. Next, remove the vent hose from the rear of the dryer and check for strong air flow at the outlet. If it seems strong enough then run a vent through a window or out into another room and do one load in this fashion. If this resolves your problem the blockage exists in the vent line outside your dryer and disassembling dryer becomes unnecessary.
If not, ensure you have seen and touched every inch of interior dryer piping and hold the lint filter up to the light to be sure you can see through it. Disassemble and clean ANY section of piping you can't get your hand into. The area below the lint filter tends to catch a lot of lint and can only be accessed by removing the housing at the rear on the left side as you face the rear. Ensure the blower wheel turns when the motor turns. (Newer models may have the filter housing at the front)
Having performed all these actions WILL resolve the problem.

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
