Estate dryer do's not dry fast anymoe - Estate Dryers

Couple of things to check, the blower fan assembly that is close to the lint filter, might be clogged or the exhaust duct hose might be too long and has too many bents, that restricts the air flow. check also outside for restrictions

Sounds like it used to dry faster. Check that the vent duct has not gotten clogged with lint. Even partial obstruction will reduce the efficiency of operation.

PSITECHNICAL gave you a thorough list of trouble-shooting tips, above, for the exhaust system. The things he told you to check will certainly keep your dryer from working well. But if the dryer did work well initially, and it is very gradually taking longer and longer to dry a load, then your vent is probably getting clogged up with lint.

The whole vent line needs to be cleaned out periodically. If it has not been too long since it was installed, and if the lint is still "loose" in there, you can probably blow it out with a shop vac or a leaf blower (from the laundry room toward the outside, obviously). If it has been years since the vent was cleaned, and if it is heavily clogged with lint, and especially if it is a very long vent line, then you will probably need to take it apart to clean it. Sometimes the vent will even need to be replaced, depending on the circumstances.

Over the years, if you don't clean the vent, the lint gets compacted into a felt-like material that builds up on the inside of your duct, like plaque clogging an artery. Eventually, your dryer will have a "heart attack" when it can no longer get rid of sufficient hot air to keep the machine from overheating. If you are lucky, a safety device called the thermal cut-off will fail, and that will prevent a fire from starting. The thermal cut-off is relatively easy to replace. But then you still have the problem of cleaning the vent.

You need to do whatever you have to do to get a clean, free, 4" wide outlet, all the way from the back of your dryer to the outdoors. The dryer works by blowing warm air over your clothes as they tumble, and the dampness from your clothes evaporates into the air within the drum. Well, then that damp air has to go someplace, or your clothes will never get dry, right? That's what your exhaust system (the blower and vent) are for: to get rid of the water vapor that just evaporated off of your clothes. The exhaust system also get rids of the old hot air as new hot air comes in, so your dryer doesn't overheat. Anything that stops up your vent will keep your clothes from getting dry and will eventually shut down your machine.
