My client has two identical dryers. Both are doing the same thing. The lint trap was very clogged/waxy so we cleaned that and that is better but it isn’t getting above 200 degrees, so it is taking a very long time to dry. I believe there is a Service Bulletin about this or at least a tech manual for this unit.
On our first visit we found the lint Trap on these units were very wax covered and it wasn’t allowing much airflow. We cleaned this and now this is fine but the dryer is still taking a very long time to dry.

Hi.
I have attached the service manual for this unit. I did not see any service bulletins for this. If it’s still taking a long time to dry my first guess would have to be air flow. You must have a clogged vent or blower wheel and or housing. This would be the most likely explanation. Especially if they share the same vent since both are taking longer than usual to dry. Does the heat seem to short cycle? Only staying on for a few seconds and shutting off? This would be another indication of an air flow issue. Exhaust temps coming out of the dryer are going to be 120- 150 degrees. If air flow is not the issue then you could have gas coils that are failing. Weak coils will give you proper heat at the beginning of a cycle for a period and then just loose heat all together. The igniter will come on and go off with no flame. I hope this was helpful.

Where you able to find a Service Bulletin for this?

No, I did not find any service bulletins related to this issue on this model. Several bulletins for non related items like updated lint filter, blower wheel socket size etc.
