I have an old GE dryer that works very well, but recently have problems drying anything complete. The dryer is cycling on and off and the element is working. I removed the back vent hose from the dryer and have extremely good hot airflow from the dryer. However when I hook the hose up to the wall vent the air flow is weak and the air is barely warm coming out and the top of the dryer gets very hot. Could there be a problem with the vent which runs up, across down and out......Any help greatly appreciated. This is in an older condo and the vent system has been routed this way forever. Thank you for the help.
Mike

From what you describe it is almost certain that you have an obstructed venting system. If it has worked ok in the past, clean it completely and you should be back in business.
It sounds like you have a vertical venting system, and these invariably will become obstructed. They must be cleaned regularly, for operating and safety reasons.
Good luck, hope that fixes it.
