Looking at manual, I didn't see a heater or element, but did see a thermostat and a thersostat heater. Since system still works, how can I identify weak part? Checked lint filter and exhaust system - seem OK - no moisture sensor. Thoughts/suggestions? Thanks

This means you will need to open it up and clean it out, from the outside vent all the way through the machine. Also, check the fan to see that it is blowing at the correct speed and is not loose on the shaft or has some other problem.
