What is the difference between the dryer you provided a manual for, which is DLE7177WM.

My dryer is a DLE7177RM.

It is an electric dryer and it is slowly not drying the clothes.

It has gotten gradually worse.

Now it will hardly dry at all.

It runs the whole time just not enough heat

Thanks

... What is the difference between ... DLE7177WM ...My dryer is a DLE7177RM.

... Now it will hardly dry at all.

1) DLE7177WM is white, DLE7177RM is red

2) how's the Vent ?

Dryer Vent

Vent should be rigid metal.

Short lengths of flexible metal may be OK, if not crimped when moving the Dryer into place.

NO plastic

NO PVC

NO screws

Foil Duct Tape is OK.

With an empty load, Timed Dry, High Heat, the vent temperature should cycle somewhere between 135F and 160F

Check / clean the Dryer Vent

Disconnect the Dryer Vent and check for good air-flow there and where it exits the house.

Check the Vent air temperature at the back of the Dryer.

If you have a Harbor Freight Store near you,

click on picture sometimes on sale for $ 2.99

I will dig into it. I know the vent is only about 2ft long and all rigid pipe, no screws.

Thank you for the model # insite.

Thanks
