My LG electric dryer DLE3777W takes forever to dry as it does not get hot enough. Suggestions?

sounds like the lint filter is clogged up, replace it with a new one if possible or give the old filter a good wash, let it dry and try again

Hi, If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heatingthe most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glowssometimes it is still not working properly. if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip.... If you have an electric dryer, you can have many differentthings that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat. check outthis electric no heat tip...

unplug dryer,remove front paner, at heater element Box check the smaller therma fuse at rear by disconnecting one terminal and using a continuity meter measure the part. if you hear no beep then replace it.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

As everything in your dryer is working fine apart from it heating properly so the recommended repair will be thermal fuse/thermostat replacement. However, you can also test its continuity before replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

I have exactly the same problem. My unit is 2 years old and has suffered this same problem since the day I bought it.

Is the drier getting hot? If so then the air flow is restricted by a dirty lint filter or blocked vent pipe.

It takes the dryer forever to dry a load of clothing, no matter how many pieces or thickness. Yes, I have already checked the vents out of the dryer, there not clogged. Any other suggestions?

check your venting !!! run a load with out the vent pipe on the back see if it drys normal if so your problem is in you vent duct to the outside

Is this a combo washer/dryer in 1 unit? water shoud not come out if it is just a dryer. Your air coming out of the back vent hose should be hot. If your clothes comes out of your WASHER damp (more than normal) then your washer is not spin drying good enough. (worn belt, clogged drainage system).
