Most common causes are:
Dirty vent system
Vent louvers not opening fully
Dirty or loose blower wheel.

You can check the vent system by:
Undo the dryer from the exhaust
Run a load
If the load dries correctly then you have a vent problem.
Clean/check the vent system. Make sure the outside louvers open fully.

If you do not want lint in the house.
Take a pair of pantyhose, put one leg into the other and attach this to the dryer exhaust.
Leave enough room behind the dryer so it can blow out like a windsock.
Run a load.

Both the above will allow you to check the air flow and temp.
Also the above is NOT recommended for a gas dryer due to possible carbon monoxide problems

The time it takes to dry clothes has almost doubled. Happened suddenly. I metered all thermostats and they seem to be working but I don't know if they are operating at the right temperature. Any ideas? I plan on replacing the operating thermostat and the high limit thermostat.
Thanks.
