Hey everyone! For the past four years, we've been enjoying our dream system: a 1974-75 avocado green Lady Kenmore matched pair.
It's been absolutely flawless, and we treasure this set. Something just happened to the dryer and I'm trying to figure it out.
There's three settings for heat: AIR which is an air fluff without heat, KNIT DELICATE which is warm air, and REGULAR which is full heat.
Since most of my clothes are as old as this dryer (or older!), I always use KNIT DELICATE on them.
Last night I went to check a load and it seemed like it was taking forever to dry ... and the I realized that there was no heat at all!
I put it on REGULAR and that warmed it up and I finally finished the load.
Today I tested it out, and can confirm that KNIT DELICATE stays cold.
I always clean out the lint screen after every session. Today I moved it away from the wall and checked if there was any vent issue. The vents were pretty clean, but I gave everything a good vacuuming nevertheless. (There's always dust on a dryer!)
Anyone have any ideas what this could be? I wonder if the heat element is starting to go.
