Why is my Affinity dryer not heating as well as it was put new dryer hose in back just taking touble time to dry a small load of clother & I double spin the load also

SOUNDS LIKE FAULTY THERMOSTAT / REGULATOR FOR HEATER ELEMENT, COMMON PROBLEM IN DRYERS

In order of what is usually wrong, with the most common first, here goes: 1) The heating element has broken and must be replaced. 2) One of the overheat-sensors has overheated (or is doing so) and must be replaced. ( A note of caution here: If the unit has reached a critical point of lint overload, even a new sensor will click off until the machine is cleaned out. 3) A wire has burned in two in the back or the bottom of the machine and needs repair. 4) The circuit breaker in your hall, basement, garage, or wherever has tripped and needs reset. 5) Be certain the clothers are somewhat dry before putting them in the machine, becasue if the washing machine is not spinning the clothes dry, there can be too much water for the dryer to take out.
Also, the exhaust hose it plugged up or kinked, it can nearly stop the dryer from drying.
Be blessed.

Most likely the vent is plugged - check the vent hose (usually start at the outside location & work back to dryer). If hose is not clogged, unplug dryer, remove vent hose from back of dryer and check there.

check your dryer duct hose and vent.....it might be clogged,.....in some cases the duct fills with water and causes dry time to take longer.....on other cases the vent might be clogged and the heat sensor detects that it is hot enough and shuts down the heater element.................
make sure all vents are unclogged.............

dryer duct hose is in the back of the dryer and is connected usually with a duct clamp or tie strap.........disconnect and if i were you replace with a new one.... do not rinse out and put back....it will cause a build up of lint around the inside of duct hose.....the water acts like a glue trying to collect all the lint it could...and eventually it will clog the hose..............just replace with a new one......check the vent were the hot air discharges out of usually outside or rooftop........most vents are covered with a screen or a plastic/sheetmetal flap.....make sure the flap can move.also make sure that it is uclogged and has good airflow...........................

good luck if anything just message
a feed back would be good if this helps...

Due to a dryer either heats or no heat , I would suggest pulling the dryer out and removing the vent hose . Dry a load of clothes to see if they dry normally . If they do , this verifys that the vent hose is either kinked ( restricting air flow ) , or , if the vent runs UP inside the wall , there is a restriction between the inside vent hose to the outside vent . May have to go into the attic to clean .

A restricted vent is the most common cause for long dry times. You can run a load of clothes with the vent hose disconnected from the back of the dryer. If you don't get any heat dring a cylce, and you verified an "air fluff" cycle has not been selected, I suggest having a professional service tech give you a diagnosis. The problem could be in one of a few thermostats, the heating element, main control (timer or control board), sensor, motor switch or even supply voltage.

Blocked vent hose . Disconnect the hose from the dryer and dry a load . If dryes ok , check the vent hose and vent . Make sure there is good air blowing out the back .

Some dryers have more than one heating elliment..

A way to check is -- take the exaust hose off.. Put a mirror so you can see into the hole & hopefully see the heating elliment(s).. When running they should glow like a stove burner..
If it is not gloing its not working & needs to be replaced..

I suspect that one may have went out..

I hope this helps !!
Please rate me good ;o)

be sure vent to outside is not blocked or hose behind dryer flattened..quick ck is to dry a load with rear hose disconnected..if problem still there suspect heating element ..ge/hotpoint elements are double strung if 1 coil is open (burnt into) dryer will not get hot eneough

doubt if squeak is related to not drying. if you are getting heat (you say heating element is ok) take out condensor and hose it down till thoroughly free of lint. check appliance has adequate ventilation as well
