. 878 Answers SOURCE: Andeb, 90% of the time long dry times are caused by blocked vents. If you are sure that this is not the case there are a couple of things to check. First check the sensor; press the more time button and less time button 4 times until 88 shows in the display.(more time,less time, more time, less time). Open the door and you will hear a beep and a see a code. On the inside just below the vent screen is the moisture sensor. Moisten your finger and lay it across the sensor strips covering both.

If you hear a beep, the sensor is good. Sometimes they build up with fabric softner and need to be sanded lightly.

Another issue might be the burner coils. Remove the bottom panel and check to see that the burner is igniting and remaining lit. Sometimes these coils become week and will not sustain the flame. I will attach a diagram, look at number 13 and 14 on the picture. These are the coils. Catriver.post back.

Posted on Sep 18, 2006. 6784 Answers SOURCE: Check the following areas thoroughly to address this issue. Venting Make sure the dryer vent hose, as well as the rest of the vent duct, is not clogged. Unless regular maintenance is performed, chances are there is a lot of lint accumulated inside the dryer. This might affect the drying time and could be a fire hazard. Make sure to have your dryer cleaned regularly.

Because this might involve taking most of the dryer apart, it is recommended to have a qualified appliance repairman perform this task. Thermostat There are a couple of cycling thermostats inside the dryer. If one of them breaks down, it might affect the dryer's performance.

Replace the defective thermostat. Heating element A heating element might only be partially burned out, in which case it would still work but will take longer time to dry the clothes. Replace the element if found defective.
