The dryer gets warm, but still takes 2-3 cycles to dry a load. Lint filter is clean, no build up in exhaust. Can anyone give me an idea for the next step ?

Then take you back off again and take out the four screws holding the lint chute. Clean it out thoroughly, and clean out the blower and vent to the connection to the outside vent. If this does not clear things up, your problem is likely in the gas burner system.

After replacing the thermostats and thermal fuse, I picked up the 2 coils that are on the gas valve for the burner. That did the trick ! Thanks again.
