Hi Stan… If you are referring to the flame not staying on long enough, and are experiencing long dry times, your most probable problem is that there is some type of blockage in the blower housing or your exhaust hose… I would first check the outside exhaust outlet and make sure there is a good amount of air coming out. If there is not, there is blockage somewhere! Hope this helps.
Thanks, Tony-AceTech52

I just only understood your question more clearly and now that i understand that the flames come on and off in a normal cycle, i’ll check in throughout a cycle and see if it’s actually drying the clothes, if the flame is coming back on.
thanks

Thank you so much for your reply. The flame goes completely out after about 5 minutes. The outside vent is not clogged. If there were a hole in the soft vent tube, would that cause a lack of air flow in?
I kept thinking it was something mechanical. But i know there is a small hole in the foil vent tube.
Thanks for anymore info.
