Dan November 13, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore Mod #110.84722 Dryer began taking twice as long to dry a load of clothes. Changed cycle Tstat and the high temp shutoff switch and still same problem. outlet temp is only about 110 Degrees F. Does the timer have any interaction with the temp controls? Does the moisture sensor have a temp function? Everything works well, just does not dry like it use to. Supply Voltage is 120+.
1 Answer Hello Dan. The voltage should be 240 volts to the unit. 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. Hope this helps. Read More...
