Alicia for Model Number LE7800XSW3 Hi - My dryer has been slow to dry--most jeans, heavy towels, etc. require two cycles at the highest heat and longest dry times regardless of the size of the load. Can I tell by looking at the heating element if it has partially burned out? How would I tell if it is a problem with the thermostat instead? Also, there is a tone that is supposed to notify you if you need to clean the lint trap. After vacuuming out this area we have heard the tone at random, even when there is no lint to be removed. Thank you!!! Alicia
Answer Hello Alicia. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly.
