Hello ninko2001 - When did you recently cleaned the ducting vent? In case you haven't so, please confirm that first. If not and the element has recently been replaced, the unit could possibly have a communication problem with the control panel that would not allow the element to reach its desire temperature. However, keep in mind that you might want to consider having a professional diagnose the thermal limiter and the blower assembly as well. Either, or, could be faulty at this time. This is not a typical DIY job so please consult a professional.
