Answer

Hello Don. 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. If the vent is stopped up, it can blow the high limits. Also make sure the cycling thermostat WP3387134 is working properly. Hope this helps.
