    Dryer not drying
    I have a whirlpool thin twin dryer that I bought used. The problem is that now, after 3 years, it usually takes 5 or 6 cycles to dry a small load! The lint filter is clean, the outside port is clear.
    What should I do?

    Sounds like the heating element needs changed.

Dryer not Drying all the way [ 4 Answers ]

I have a GE dryer that doesn't seem to dry all the way. I've cracked it open and cleaned out all the dust buildup from the vents (there was quite a bit) and the blower moter and blades. Should be clean as a whistle now. The heating element was clean and shows no cracks and looks to heat up OK...
