Dryer gets warm... not hot

cleaned (vaccuumed) and it worked once after. it will get warm, but not nearly enough to dry in one cycle. blower is working fine, too. please help. can’t afford new one!

Lack of sufficient air flow is the major cause of your problem.

These models get heavy lint build up inside the door grid and in the internal vent to the outside that goes through the blower. You are going to have to open it up (insert a screw driver in the gap between the top and front to release clips, flip the top back) and clean everything out. Also clean out the external vent.

See if that does not fix things.
