My kenmore dyrer is working but lately i’ve noticed it takes about twice as long to get something dry, i looked at the element and it comes on at start but after a few minutes it cuts off stays off about 2 minutes and then comes back on for a minute this process continues until eventually the clothes are dry any ideas.
First thing to do is clean and check your vent system. Make sure the outside louvers are opening fully.
You may be running on the hi-limit thermostat due to low air flow.
