If you have lots of heat then you must have a problem with air flow. 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. Other possible causes : Loose or dirty blower wheel Worn or loose drum seals Dirty lint filter. Especially if you use fabric softener. It can coat the lint filter and drastically reduce air flow. Clean with soap and water. Plugged holes at back of dryer drum
