Follow-up.

Well, I let the dryer run more than 20 minutes this time, or maybe
it was that I was faster getting my hand inside, but it was indeed
slightly warm inside. The wash-and-wear shirts and the cotton
underwear were still slightly wet after 40 minutes so I let them
dry on the bed.

Your dryer should be making a considerable amount of heat within 20
minutes, dude. It doesn't take that long for the 240 volt element to
heat up...Providing it's not bad AND is getting power for more than a
couple of minutes at a time.

I still think it's not good that this electric dryer has only 2
heat settings, barely warm and the other one, which I tried for a
little while and which didn't seem hot either. .

OHHH... You've got a faulty humidity sensor and/or bad logic board on
the dryer. Your heating element isn't running for any length of time,
because your dryer seems to think everything is getting nice and dry.
and, once the element is powered down, it doesn't take long at all!
to remove the hot air it did generate.

What is the make/model of your dryer? I might be able to bring up
some schematics on it and point you in the right direction for
further troubleshooting and repair. I do need to know it's make/model
in order to do that, though.
