I have a Whirlpool Cabrio dryer that is taking 2-3 cycles to dry clothes. Element is fairly hot to the touch, but curious if it is failing and just not getting hot enough. Any thoughts?
Here are your parts

The most common cause of this is a partially plugged or malfunctioning vent system.
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.
