Whirlpool Dryer Not Drying Clothes?

I have a Whirlpool Cabrio dryer that is a couple years old. It gets good and hot, but does not seem to be removing the moisture from clothes as it should. It takes several cycles to get the clothes dry. Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks for any information.

Your lint filter/dryer vent is probably clogged. You need to clean it out.

Sounds like nobody has been cleaning out the vent line - this could also cause a fire under the right conditions. Go to the back of the dryer unbolt the vent line. Vacuum out the inside of the vent line and then inside of the back of the dryer. Go outside and vacuum out the vent line there too. After you put it back together try drying something in it.

If all is now well then pull out the lint trap that you should be cleaning after each load of clothes. It's found inside the drum where you put your clothes to dry them. If you use fabric softeners there will be an invisible film of softener on the screen of the lint trap which can be seen when you run the lint trap under water. Take an old tooth brush and scrub the screen clean. I had a girlfriend who had a fire because of the buildup in the lint screen.

The first thing I would check would be for lint build-up in your venting. If the air can't circulate properly it will not work as efficiently.
