Hello Wayne. Check and see if the blower wheel WP697772 inside the dryer is broke or clogged with lint. If so, you will need to clean it out or replace it if it is broke. If it is good, make sure there are no clogs in the venting system, and the lint filter W10120998 is sealing good to catch the lint. Hope this helps.

Hello John. There is a 1/4 inch screw on the side of the heater box that will need to be removed. It is located by the element terminals. Once removed, the element will pull out of the heater box. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.

Kenneth B. for Model Number 110.67741600

This dryer takes forever to dry and the clothes are not as hot as our friend's clothes even on "cotton" setting. It has been this way for a long time but I think it has gotten worst. Now I would like to do something to fix it. My dad, who can generally fix anything, is here now and he may be able to do the work if you can advise what the trouble might be. I do not think the electrical to the dryer has changed over time. Thanks for your input. Ken

Hello Kenneth, you will want to disconnect the dryer from the vent tubing located on the rear of the unit. Run a cycle and verify it's drying normally when not connected to the vent tubing. If so, you will have to clear the tubing from any obstructions. Thanks!
