Hi Marcia,

Did they feel hot when cycle was done?

Which cycle did you use - auto or timed?

Disconnect the vent hose from the dryer and measure the temperature by inserting a meat probe thermometer in the vent outlet. Post the results, please.

Be sure the exhaust line for your dryer is done in accordance with the manufacturer Installation instructions (pages 17-19).

Gene.

No matter what cycle I use, the clothes do not get dry by the end of one cycle. On timed cycle, if I open the door right when they get done they do feel hot. If I use regular or perm. press, the cool down cools them down and they still do not get dry in one cycle. What should the temp be coming out of the vent outlet? Thanks

It suppose to be about 140°F when the heating element is "on" and about 100°F when it's "off".
