I have a Frigidare FDEB23RGS1 electric dryer. The dryer will warm up, but takes aprx 2-2.5 hours to dry a load of cloths. The load is a regular load (not overloaded).
I am pretty handy about replacing things, just don't know what I need to replace.
Please help.
Thanks

A couple of things I would check are:
1. Make sure the vent is clear of lint all the way outside
2. If this is a 220v dryer, flip the circuit breaker off and back on

Good Luck,
Wally H.

I have pulled the back off and removed the lint a few weeks ago, with still the same problem. I will try the circuit breaker to see if that helps.

Also remove the blower housing and clean it out
