Your rear connecting exhaust vent must be removed and cleaned out.
If it is the flexible vent material it must be un-kinked or mashed when reattached.
Run a 50 minute timed dry cycle with the vent completely off.
If the load dries OK,the connecting vent is the problem.

Have a Whirlpool supreme 7 cycle dryer from years ago, it will heat and dry but takes several cycles.

If you disassemble the dryer, you probably will find the exhaust blower is clogged with lint (especially if you use softener). Also, the heating element(s) may have failed partially or a temperature sensor isn't working.

Clean lent filter

The unit is seeing a restriction in air flow disconnect the exhaust at base of machine turn to air dry or fluff you should get good air movement coming out of the exhaust I will assume the machine worked when new if flow is weak then there is lint in the blower air passage from the machine if good you will know the difference the the restriction is in the exhaust exiting the house on one occasion i did encounter a bad control if everything passes the test an dryer is operating correctly and you still have a light leave it control is not cheap for an annoying light

My Bosch wtl6304 condenser tumble dryer keeps indicating empty filter light and bleeps rapid. It warns me twice like this then trips the thermostat out. I have cleaned filter, washed the condenser out and...

never really heard of a condenser model dryer before however it does seem like internally its full of lent inside of the dryer housing itself around the heating elements if you have a large air compressor open it all up and spray air into everything in the dryer where you see lent build up this will force any lent out of the dryer and it should hopefully run as the day you first got it ;P found this to be an issue even with an LG TROMM dryer i opened up and wasnt drying very well

Dryer turns on and rotates. However, does not dry clothes completely. Cycle signals wet,then damp,cool down and finally dry,but clothes are still wet. Sometimes the dryer works fine and completely dries...

This problem may be the result of a dirty lent filter which if clogged will short cycle the dryer and the clothes will still be damp when done. Also a dirty exhaust pipe (usally 4") will prevent the clothes from drying correctly. Make sure that the air is leaving the machine. To do this you have to go outside when the machine is running.

Lent seems to be going all over the house. The lent is very fine almost like dust. The discharge vent pipe is not leaking.

when was the last time you cleaned out the dryer?you need to clean out the duct that the lint filter slides into,remove the vent line from the back,if it's a long run blow it out with a leaf blower to clean it out,before you blow it go outside and make sure the duct where the flapper is isn't blocked with anything,and then vac out the inside of dryer where the motor is,you should do this once a year so the dryer works properly and your clothes will dry on time

Clean filter light flashing and making more noise than normal

There is an element where the lent screen is. It is the dry sensor. Check to see if it has lent on it.

Dryer has heat..but very low temp , takes forever

Make sure that your vent pipe is completely clear of excess lent. It will not dry properly if the venting is not running freely. If the unit is cleared of lent, inside and out, the only other possibility is the thermostat is not reading correctly.

Takes multiple cycles to dry one load

Clean the dryer vent all the way to the termination site and then clean inside the vent in the dryer. Make sure it is clean of lent. The blower assymebly can also become clogged as well but try the vent hose first. If it is completely clean and it's still haveing trouble, it could be the thermostat on the unit and it is not allowing the dryer to cycle properly.
