Default GE dryer has low heat,excessive drying time
Model Number: DBXR463ED2WW   Brand: GE   Age: 1 - 5 years

GE electric dryer, has low heat, and takes hours to dry. Does not matter what the load size, is or heat setting.I've checked and cleaned the vent from inside the dryer to outside the house. I have the correct voltage with no burn marks on the terminals.If I'm checking in the right spot I have continuity in the heating element. I need suggestions on my next step.

If the dryer is heating some but not enough it sounds like one of the elements is bad or one of them is grounded out. To check continuity on the elements the tub must be removed and the wires unplugged from the element. But with tub out you can normally see the element broken or you can see that the element is touching ground. I hardly ever use a meter to check these elements. Note that the element will often break inside the porcelain holders so you may have to tug on it a bit to see. GE Dryer Not Heating Repair Guide

The first thing I would do is take the front off the dryer, and look down on the blower housing, and alot of times the lint tends to build up there. Basically this could be a vent issue. I know you cleaned the vent hose out, but the line to the outside could be clogged. I would take the vent hose off the back of the dryer, and pull it away from the wall and run a cycle. If it does not change, and the element is good, then it could be a the operating thermostat. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
