I have a Roper by Whirlpool Dryer with Mod number RED4440VQ1 on inside of door . The dryer is running and it is also heating but it takes 3 or 4 cycles for a normal load to dry completely. I have no background in this area so a detailed description of what to do would be helpful. Thanks!

Could be a vent problem

Unplug the unit and disconnect it from the vent system.
Now try a run.
If it now dries OK odds are the vent system needs checking/cleaning.
Be sure to check that the louvers on the outside of the house open correctly.

If you do not want any lint in the house.
Take a pair of pantyhose.
Put one leg into the other and then attach this to the dryer's vent.
Leave enough room so the pantyhose can balloon out like a windsock.

Both the above will let you check the temperature and the air flow.

Note: The above is not recommended for gas dryers due to carbon monoxide concerns.
