Does This Dryer Have A History Of Slow Drying Time?
I bought this dryer a couple of years ago and even new took at least an hour to dry a full load. Now several years later it is getting worse! I have serviced the dryer vent tubing and exhaust with marginal improvement. The buisness that sold the dryer has since closed. I asked a appliance store dealer who stated that this dryer was a very inexpensive model that only has single element? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
