Can I just buy a part or do I need a new dryer?

Question

About a month ago my dryer started not drying clothes quite as well. I had to turn the dryer on twice to get a load dryed. Now it won't dry at all. I try all the time because it seems like it should work because it still gets hot. Any idea?

Answer 1

Yes, the exhaust hose needs to be cleaned out every once in a while if you dont clean your lint trapper after every use.  If its not cleaned out it could potentially start a fire.  

Answer 2

listen to paulofho I had the same problem with my dryer and i was shocked how much c**p came out of the hose it was enough to fill a grocery bag full.  That can be a fire hazard as well

Answer 3

Have you cleaned the lint out of the traps and checked if its exhaust is unobstructed
