You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

First check your vents inside and out. Start from the back of the dryer, pull off the vent GENTLY and clean it... then go outside and clean from that direction.
It could be something more expensive but the first thing a repair crew would do it check that. And check your lint trap IN the dryer.

I will have to try this out.
I regularly clean the lint traps but I will check the exhaust vent.

I've had this exact problem in the past. There was a build up of lint and fibers in the exhaust vent. As soon as I cleaned that out, my dryer started working just fine.
