My gas dryer is 5 yrs old; recently it's taking what seems forever to dry a load. The lint filter is cleared regularly. Does not seem to be heating up up sufficiently. Any ideas/recommendations before I call a technician?
If you can get the dryer outside, blow it out from the bottom with compressed air (using an air compressor or even a leaf blower). make sure the vent is clear and has no lint buildup. make sure the burner unit is also lint/dust free. If it is still heating, that is good news, and it is most likely a "breathing" issue. it also could be an issue with your gas pressure, however that is very unlikely. Best wishes in this project.
Testimonial: "Thanks Tony! I checked my outside vent and it was badly clogged with lint. Cleared that away and the dryer was immediately back to its old self!"
