When I use my dryer the dryer does not get hot enough to dry my clothes. It feels like it gets warm but not hot enough to dry clothes. I have to run clothes through 2 cycles and even then some things are still damp.
Any ideas or replacement part ideas??
Our clothes dryer is only 2 yrs old. It's a Kenmore. Forthe past several weeks I have to set the dial twice for 60 minutes to dry a load. I have tried making the load size smaler, but still the clothes need two or three cycles before they are dry. They never feel hot. Does that mean I need a new heating element?

Heating element
Your dryer's heating element may be partially burned out. If it is, your dryer still heats, but at such a low temperature that it takes three or four times as long to dry the clothes. If the element is partially burned out, replace it.

Most common cause of this is a clogged venting going to the outside to test this remove the vent from the back of the dryer and run a load if it drys ok them you know you have a venting issue and will need to be cleaned out if not plz repost and we can look deeper into it
