If it takes longer time to dry but there is warm inside the dryer then the problem is a clogged vent outside the dryer.

Disconnect the vent hose from the dryer and run a couple loads. If you see better time, then the vent has to be cleaned.

- Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dryer Model LG6151XSW0

Good luck.
Gene.

Default sensor

It could be part #ap3116922 page 1 item 8. This part controls the heat in your dryer. Does your dryer get hot or does it just get warm? you could also have some trouble with your burner.

There is a vent inside the wall and not only the vent hose.

This vent causing the air flow restriction more often.

That's why I recommended to disconnect the hose and run a couple of loads without the hose.
