disconnect vent, run load vented to room leave window open......

if it drys ok its the vent

you might try usinmg a shopvac as a blower to clear the vent. have
someone outside watch for dust cloud.

just recently i had the slow dry problem....

turned out the flexible duch had a low spot filled with condestated
water that must of blocked the line.

i picked up the line and got a arm full of water, so look for low
spots.

vacuumn out the dryer vent while you have it apart

Exactly right.

I had the same problem a few years ago. I disconnected the vent hose
and the towels dried fine (although the room was very humid). I
tracked the problem to a bird's nest just inside the outlet port.
After relocating the nest to a nearby tree, I installed a bird-proof
outlet cage.
