Default GE Dryer (newer) low heat

My wife is complaining about the amout of time it takes to dry a load of
clothes in our GE dryer (newer model - about 5 years old) - AGAIN. About a
year or so ago it was really running low heat and I checked into this ng
that pointed me to a fine web site (can't remember the name of it) that told
me how to take it apart and check the two stage heater coil in back of the
barrel (which was really easy to get out - when shown..) The high heat coil
had, in fact, burned through the wire in the coil - so, I replaced it... (I
opted to replace the whole coil assembly at that time - but, I can't
remember if it came with the thermostats, too.) -and, it has been drying
just fine.

This time, however, the coil looks good, the thermostats meter out ok, and
the exhaust pipe blows lots of air... and, it theat coming out of it seems
to be quite hot..... however, the clothes DO take forever to completely dry
out... Any suggestions???

You know, now that I think of it - I didn't meter the heater coils out....
they just "looked" good.. I'll tear it apart again and meter those devils
this time - maybe it's the low heat coil... In the meantime, any other
ideas??

Thanks in advance,

Palmer
