[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]I have a Frigidaire Model GLET1031FS0 that is approximately 3 years old. It hasn’t really EVER completely dried a load without running an extra 20 minutes or so… but now it takes 4-5 cycles to fully dry normal load. The change has happened fairly suddenly. Does anyone have an idea aas to what might be going on?

Thanks[/FONT][/SIZE]

ASounds like a clogged vent to the outside, or a kinked vent hose in the back. Take the vent hose off, at the wall, and run a cycle with the vent hose off. If you put a panty hose on the end of the vent hose, it will catch the lint. Give that a try, and if it works, the vent is clogged to the outside. Tom http://www.applianceeducator.com
