    Dryer heating but not drying
    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,

    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.
