    Kenmore Dryer, slow to dry
    I have a electric Kenmore Heavy Duty, Super Capacity Dryer, Model # 110.60602990, Type # DWJR-ELE-2406028-FM54. I bought this dryer used a few months ago. It is about 4 years old (I was told) but wasn't used for the past 3 years, due to a living situation.
    My dryer takes a LONG time to heat. It takes four 60 minutes cycles to dry a slightly larger than average load, and three 60 minute cycles to dry most any size load.
    I live in Alaska, and it is quite cold now (-20 to -30 below). I have a large amount of frozen moisture building up around my dryer vent and up the side of the house, and I have been cleaning it off to keep it from blocking the vent. However, I am also getting a large amount of water in my vent hose, assumedly condensation? I live in a daylight basement apartment, so the dryer vent is higher than the dryer by a couple of feet.
    I am not sure what to do, and don't know if the information provided is helpful or not. Thanks for anything you can do to lead me in the right direction.

    This could be one of a few things . Make sure you are getting 220volts A.C. . When the drier is running go to the breakers and see if they are warm or hot ? If so ,replace them

    The female plug the drier plugs into on the wall could also have a problem with voltage .
    One common problem with driers is the cord from the drier to the wall . They are cheap and easy to install .
    The heating coil inside the drier can get a crack in them and they will not heat like they should . If at all .

    A good place to get parts and tips is www.repairclinic.com
    Good luck
