When I go and check them the dryer will be hot and clothes done, usually the second time around. The first time drying it doesnt seem that they get hot. I have cleaned out the lent and the hose. I have even taken off the hose and let it blow in the room. The one time I checked how hot the air was coming out it wasn't even hot. I don't see how it is the heating element cause it does get hot, not just everytime. Can you give me some help. Thanks Mike

Set the timer on 15 or more minutes and watch how the temperature fluctuates. It should reach a certain temperature (155 to 180), then you should hear a faint click (which will be the cycling thermostat opening). then the temperature should begin a decline (to 110 - 130). Then the cycle should repeat. If you don't see a fairly consistent pattern, the thermostat(s) should be replaced.

Good idea to check the strength of the exhaust air flow at the outside vent.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
