Hi I was hopeing that someone could help me with this iussue that I am
having with my electric dryer. About 2 months ago I stuck my hand inside of
the dryer to check the clothes and it was extremely hot. I am pretty certain
that it should not get this hot.


That was 2 months ago. What is the temp inside feel like now, now
that the dryer is not drying so fast?

Well, for about the past month and a half
or so it takes a really long time to dry the clothes. On average 1 1/2
hours - 2 hours for one load, and sometimes they are still damp after that.
I disconnected the power and took a look at the heating element and there is
no visible signs of it being burnt up or damaged. I also checked for lint
blockage and there is none. My question being, does this sound like a
thermostat problem?


A thermostat problem could make the dryer too hot, but wouldn't it
take LESS time to dry things if that were THE problem?

? And if so it appears as if there are two thermostats,
one on the heater element, and one on the blower side.I do not have a Ohm
Meter or anything that I could test it with. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance,

Greg
