The inside of the lint chute by the blower wheel could be stuffed with lint, operating thermostat letting the temperature get way too high, but usually the front & rear felt drum seals are worn out sucking in out side air instead of air from heater. not easy to tell from where I am. can be 5 or 6 possable causes!
