The dryer does heat up but for some reason the lint catcher is not filling up with lint as usual. I took the front off and found lots of lint around the metal housing of the heating element and in the trans duct and blower housing. I cleaned/vaccumed it all out but still no luck. Also the lint catcher is humid and it hasn't been in the past. Any thoughts?

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.
