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

Don't forget to clean the lint screen.
