It sounds like the blower is not forcing air through the dryer. I would start by turning the dryer on and checking the vent exhaust to see if there is a good healthy air flow where it vents to the outside. If there is not good air flow, start back tracking the air flow for obstructions or other problems. Check the lint filter to be clean, check the air piping to be clear, check the blower to be clear and functioning.
Not a major appliance expert--but if the situation is as described with hot air out vent but not in the drum where the clothing is it seems to me you have a blockage between the drum and lint filter to where it reaches the vent tube---they do make long flexible brushes for this-----a suggestion: if you have a compressor try forcing air down from the lint filter with the vent tube removed to see if the blockage is there and will clear or not.
A blockage can be a fire hazard so if you do not find it have a tech out.
How long are the vents? do they go for miles in your house?(sarcasm) Does the dryer have good ventilation? Check the vents again and make sure it is clear.
Have you checked your lint filter? Do you empty your lint filter after every load? If it is hot inside the dryer then the most likely suspect is a clogged exhaust vent. Check the lint filter, if it is clean pull the dryer out from the wall and disconnect the exhaust hose. You may have to clear out the exhaust hose...compressed air usually does the trick. After you have done this, put everything back together and your problem should be gone.
Check to see that the lint filter and exhaust duct are clear all the way to the outlet. If the moist hot air is not being exhausted the clothes will not dry. If the vent path is clear and you are using auto-dry the sensor may be at fault.
there has got to be some restriction in the vent system. Take the vent pipe completely off and look in the tube coming directly out of the dryer. Also make sure the drum is turning good speed.
