Kenmore 80 series dryer, doesn't dry anymore?

This one has got me stumped. The belt is good. since it turns the drum just fine, and blows air. The heater element works, as it turns on, and blows hot air. could some of the elements out?

It does this on the timed dry, and the auto mosture sensing settings. so my guess is that it's mosture sensing unit.

I took it apart, to clean it out hoping it was cloged with lint in there. There was minimal lint build up. It's clean, and lint free now.

It also sqeeks alot when cloths are in it. perhaps a new belt for that? It did this before i took it apart as well btw.

well if you have any idea's please let me know. thanks.

To be more specific, you'll need to completely remove the dryer's sheetmetal exhaust ducting (about 3 feet in length).
Remove the two screws that are right under the lint screen door. Then open up the back panel (around 8 screws). Under that panel, you will see the ducting coming down the back. Should be a 2 to 4 screw holding that in ... remove the duct and clean it out good! Then clean the blower fan blade that wil be exposed once the duct is removed. Have fun! Not hard to do but will take about an hour or so.

Hello,

If it is also not drying in the "timed mode", that should eliminate the moisture sensor as the problem since the sensor is only used in auto dry mode. If everything is working like it should including the heating element getting hot, check for a blocked or partially blocked exhaust vent. Quickest way to tell is to try drying a load with the vent hose dissconnected form the dryer. When you say it is lint free, I'm not sure if you also mean the exhaust vent?
