Hello,
I have a G & E dryer model DCLR333ET1WW. The machine does not reach the correct temperature about 45 degrees Celsius maximum, if I open the door, depress the cut off switch and turn the machine on, the elements do glow, and turn off. Any ideas what may be the problem?
Kind Regards Andy.

Hello Gene,
Thanks for the reply! The Dryer takes about two to three times longer than normal. The lint trap is free, the blower is working good, the air ducts are clear. The elecric bill is big!
Kind Regards Andy

if the dryer feels warm along the sides or top you probably have a vent issue, dont use white vinyl use straight 4" pipe or heavy flex pipe, you can tell if you open the door , hold down the door switch, turn it on and feel around the filter, then try it with the vent disconnected, if there is a big difference in the feel of the suction you have a vent issue, the reason the dryer feel hot is there is no air flow,,,good luck...john

Andy,
Disconnect the vent hose from the dryer and run one or two loads without that hose. Post the results.
Gene.
