Blower wheel

A loose, damaged, or obstructed blower wheel reduces airflow through the drum.

Additional possibility2

Heating element

A weak or partially failed electric heating element can extend drying time.

Additional possibility3

Gas valve coils / solenoids

Weak gas coils can cause intermittent burner operation.

Additional possibility4

Cycling thermostat / thermistor

Incorrect temperature regulation can reduce effective drying heat.

Additional possibility5

Lint filter / filter housing

Restricted internal airflow can slow moisture removal.
