Angry 90 bucks to fix dryer - now wont dry clothes
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 110.64672400
Age: 1 - 4 years

Dryer is barely 2 years old. Just today replaced the heating element, both thermostats, and one of the fuses that was blown. So it works now - but Im on hour 3 of drying and the clothes are warm, but still pretty wet - nothing near as dry as they should be at this point. Dryer has been totally cleaned out. No lint anywhere. what gives? Im about to throw this thing right out the door - and its not that old!!!

your vent in the wall is clogged the reason that little white fuse was blown is because your vent is so clogged it got too hot in there and popped the fuse. Have your vent cleaned out and buying the little brush at home depot does not work have it professionally cleaned

Thank for the help, but the fuse blew because the coils were getting too hot. The vent in the wall is not clogged. That has all been checked.

When you open the dryer door if it is a warm steamy air coming out look behind the dryer to make sure that when you pushed the dryer back the hose did not get squashed.
