Until recently our unit has been working great. Now it is taking numerous cycles to dry our clothes. I feel the heat on the clothes and have checked for blockages on the vent. I even took apart the inside and vacuumed the lint out. I am wanting to fix this and am not really sure what parts to order. Please advise what to do.

Thanks,
Patrick

Long dry times can be from lack of heat or lack of adequate air flow, usually the latter.

Take off the blower wheel cover and check it out to see that it is turning ok and that there is no blockage in the blower wheel on back to the outside vent. If you run the machine without the outside vent connected you should feel strong air flow. If not, something is still obstructing it. If so and your dryer still does not dry in the appropriate time, check your heating element and if it is ok try replacing the operating thermostat.
