    Electric Dryer verus Gas Dryer
    I have a Kenmore Electric Dryer. It seems to take much longer to dry than my old Kenmore Gas Dryer. Is that natural for electric to take longer, thanks

    It is possible. Gas do run a little bit warmer. But do check your exhaust duct. If it is clogged with lint, it may not be allowing steam to escape. It used to take two cycle to do the job in my dryer, until I figured out birds had created a nest around the pipe on the roof trapping hot air/steam in the pipe.
    Good luck

Electric Dryer Question [ 5 Answers ]

I have a Frigidaire Electric Dryer that is taking entirely too long to dry clothes. It takes about 3 dryer cycles (approximately 3 hours) to get one regular load of clothes to dry completely. When I open the dryer, it feels pretty warm/hot. Any ideas what could be causing this?
