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.
