My Maytag Performa dryer is taking 2 and sometimes 3 cycles to dry clothes. Suggestions as to why?

So it is venting hot air in a very strong flow?

Chek closely all the tube going from in to out of ur dryer clean all ur filter even the furnace oune! check ur wirring, if all faisl dry nothing in ur machingr for one cycle. they wil { i hpoe

I got cut short.. and disconnected...so if this is a repeat, please forgive me:
Dryers 101
1. Heat alone does not dry clothes
2. Air alone does not dry clothes.
3. Only dry, heated air passing over and through clothes will dry them...

I recommend the following:
Set the dryer for "Air Dry".
Go outside and check the dryer exhaust.
Confirm that the exhaust is spewing out lots of air.

If it is, then you have a need for a technician to inspect everything - in person.

If it is NOT, the you need to determine the clog - or reason that air is not moving through your dryer, clothes and exhaust system.

ONLY 2 possibilities exist:
1. Fan motor is frozen and needs replacement....or
2. Duct/exhaust is clogged with lint and will not allow air to pass through.

Please check for both, clean/clear/fix as needed.

you may need to check the lint trap and clean it .. also try cleaning out the dryer vent... if this doesnt work , try changing the drine belt...

good luck

if the unit heats and turns the problem you have is in the duct , kink behind the unit or a clog of lint in the duct on its way outside.

Could be 2 things... either your heat source is out of repair or your vent is blocked. Since you say it only gets warm I'll assume the problem is with the gas coils inside the unit. These parts are replaceable

Have you tried cleaning the actual inside of the drier?
When you use drier sheets the wax on the sheets melts onto your clothes and makes them soft, but the wax often gets stuck in the holes of the drier making it incapable of drying the clothes in one load. Try scrubbing the inside of your drier with some hot water.

dry turn very slow

check the blower wheel, sounds to me like it is loose on the blower motor, common on these dryers. One sure sign would be a warped filter and a rusted top. The blower aint putting out enough and the dryer is over heating .
