As a result, the air temperature in the exhaust duct (near filter screen) does not exceed 110 degrees and the the dial does not proceed in the cycle. Drying of clothes takes forever - if at all. Replaced both the high-temp thermostat (Ap4036956) and MuliTemp Thermostat (307250). Also, ensured that the air duct/screen is completely clear.

The dryer worked perfectly. The flapper was blocked and lint clogged the exhaust duct. I learn something new all the time.
