No. For a fix, see http://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Dryer/5-5--V0VENDg1MFhR/Whirlpool-Dryer-takes-too-long. (Ignore the paragraph in red relating to a partial model number.)

The most common problem for any dryer not drying well is poor ventilation due to the vent tubing being clogged or kinked. Take your vent tubbing off the back of the maching and check the air flow that comes out of the machine. Then replace it and go outside and check for the same amount of air flow. It should be near the same. If not, replace the vent tubbing.
