Hi, well this could be caused by a few different things. First one of the most important things to check is airflow out of the dryer, if it doesnt have easy exit of all of the moist air it will take longer to dry. first take the vent hose off of the back and feel if there is air exiting the dryer, it should feel like a fan on high coming out of the vent, if there is, check to see if it is hot at all. if it is hot and blowing fast then you will need to check your vent hose to see if it is plugged with lint. and also if there are many bends and kinks this will slow airflow. If you cant feel any heat it could be that the heater element is not cycling, this would be caused by a faulty thermal fuse or thermostat which both can be tested by and ohm meter and replaced, or it could be a faulty heater coil which can also be ohmed with a meter by putting both test leads on both connectors and checking for continuity. As always these steps should be done after unplugging the unit. These are sometimes difficult tests so if you do not feel comfortable doing these tests you can call your local appliance repair facility. Good luck.

This caused by one of two possible things. Either you have poor air flow, or a clogged vent preventing air from flowing freely and therefor making the dryer short cycle, which in turn will take you two or three times to dry yor clothes, or the heating element has gone bad, burnt in half and is making contact with the case to provide it just enough power to barely heat. The second thing is a very rare occurance. I would turn the dryer on, find out where the air vents out to, and with the dryer running, go to where it vents and check to see if there is a strong flow of air. 9 times out of 10 that is going to be your problem. Another way to check air flow is to just pull the vent off the back and let the dryer run and see if your clothes dry faster. If you do it that way and they still take a long time to dry, then you'll probably need to replace the heating element.
