I have a kenmore and an admiral dryer. both are sears and both of them dry my clothes but i have to turn them back on 3 or 4 times in order for them to do so.i believe they both have an element out. i want to know if i take an element out of the kenmore will it fit in the admiral? i took the hose off the back and cleaned the ventalation completely along with the lint trap ect and still have the same problem. i dont want to buy another dryer at this time if i can fix one of these. please help.
It's possible, but not likely. Check and replace the bad heater.
SOURCE: Dryer produces low heat but not high heat
check the vent outside it seems to be getting too hot and cycling the element off and on your safety therm.

Check your vent line if it is stoped up you have no air flow bent ocrushed check the flap is not stuck
SOURCE: clothes not getting dry
sounds like perhaps you are losing your heating element...could be electronic, but it's most likely the actual element needs to be replaced...

Have you checked the entire run of the exhaust vent ducting? Cleaning the lint trap is not nearly enough to keep a dryer running efficiently.
A simple test you can try is to remove the exhaust vent hose from the back of the dryer and attempt to dry a load as you normally would. With the hose removed and the dryer running, the air leaving the exhaust of the dryer should be forceful and warm (about 140 degrees). If the air flow is weak or non-existent, you have a clog INTERNAL to the dryer. You will have to inspect the air blower fan housing and ducting inside the dryer to ensure the blower fan is not obstructed in any way. If the air flow is normal and the clothes dry like they should, you have a clog somewhere in the DUCTING from the point where it leaves the dryer to where it exits your home. You will need to inspect the exhaust ventilation for any clogs or kinks.
If you can see the heating element glowing, you probably don't have a problem with the heating circuitry. If you haven't checked the dryer ventilation recently, now might be a good time to do so. Leaving a dryer in a clogged, or poorly ventilated condition can cause the dryer heating circuits to over heat to the point of failure. In addition, this can also create a fire hazard.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

There is no trap per say. The lint catcher is self cleaning when the water is pumped out. It sounds like you are overloading it and the clothes are hitting the agitator. Operation should be agitation by water movement not beat by the plastic fins, run a wash cycle hot water no clothes to flush things out and try smaller loads.
