I have a Kenmore stack gas dryer. Has been working very well for being an old hand me down dryer until recently it doesn't dry correctly. I have disassembled the unit and watched the burner to find it appears to be working correctly.Ignitor lights the gas and the temperature rises to about 365 -400 degrees right on the tube for the burner using an infrared thermometer. Gas goes out and doesn't come back on until temp drops to about 150-170. This seems like it is working correctly to me but I really don't have a clue about appliances. The exhaust right after the motor is about 95 degrees with the burner off and gets up to 105 degrees when the burner is on. But clothes now take forever to get dry and you can only dry a few small things at a time.
Any tips and advice is appreciated.
I forgot to mention I have good flow through my vent and there is no lint build up anywhere.
