Clothes dryer

[Twotoes]

I have a 2015 Itasca Ellipse that I purchased in 2017. It has stackable Splendide washer and dryer. Both have worked with no problems to date.  However, last laundry day the dryer ran and was warm but would not get hot. I had to run it 3x to get the clothes dry. I ALWAYS clean the lint trap each time. I suspected that maybe the vent was cloged but air is coming out the outside vent. The air coming out is warm but not hot. Any sugestions?

It sounds like a problem with the electric heating element. If you can find a model number, you can get manuals from Splendid on the net.

Update: The problem was with one of the thermostats not the heating element. The replacement thermostat cost $50, however the kit including both thermostats and a new heating element was only $100. So, as long as the dryer was out f the cabinet and accesable I decided to get the kit and replace the 7 year old heating element as well.

That sounds like solid preventive maintenance to me.
