Since your dryer is still getting hot while drying, the problem is air
flow. Either the lint screen is clogged with dryer sheet film, or the
vent in the wall is restricted. For the lint screen, pour water in it.
If the screen holds the water, clean the screen with soap and water.
For the wall vent restriction, test it by pulling the end of the
transition duct (accordian duct) and put pantyhose to collect lint for
1 load. If the clothes dry in 30-45 minutes, the vent in the wall is
restricted. You need to clean it out with a brush and rod system.

Recently our dryer (which is about 8 years old) has stopped drying our
clothes & I can't figure out why.

I've checked that nothing is blocking the vent outside and I've
detached the vent hose from the back to make sure that it is free of
debris. My wife cleans the filter every time she uses it and the
dryer is getting hot. It dries the clothes eventually, but it usually
takes 2 times (about 2 hours per load).

Anyone have any idea what I've missed or what could be causing it to
not dry?

thanks in advance
