Talk to me JB...
Did you have a dryer there and trash it to replace it with your new one? (I'm asking because I have a theory, not because I wanna chat)

Do you know if the dryer vent is free of obstructions?Check outside where the dryer vents outside ,and see if the air is weak or flowing freely.If it is not clogged the air should be pretty strong from the vent outside.If it has blockage it will definitly take longer to dry your clothes.

Hot Point Dryer won't dry, gets hot on top.

An educated guess would be either the lint tube or the tube that exhausts the air outside is blocked with lint----no airflow or greatly reduced flow will cause this symptom.

Is the drier getting hot? If so then the air flow is restricted by a dirty lint filter or blocked vent pipe.
