It is possible that the blower wheel is clogged with lint or the lint filter is coated with fabric softener residue reducing the air flow. Also possible that you blew the thermal cutoff in the heater circuit. Plus a bunch of other things. 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.
