Check spring tab behind door switch-if it's bent/out of adjustment, circuit will act like door is always open.

To confirm this, open door, set dryer to active setting, and hold in door switch; if it comes on, then it's either the spring tab, or the switch is malfunctioning

SOURCE: Dark grease stains on the cloths after drying

Most likely a bearing failure, a seal that retains grease has given up and is spewing into the drum through a shaft opening of some kind.

If you are positive there is no grease in some of the clothes, or someone is putting it in the drum, then a seal has failed, and now that the grease is coming out, the bearing it is was supposed to lubricate is now low, and will fail prematurely, you need a service call and soon.

have you checked your lint trap to make sure that it is clean after every load? Also the lint vent to the outside may be clogged and will not let the dryer vent like it should. This is dangerous. So check and replace if needed.

SOURCE: THE DRYER TAKES TWO TO THREE HOURS TO DRY ONE LOAD

I had the same problem. It was the vent from the dryer to the outside of the house. An easy way to tell if this is a problem is to disconnect the vent from the dryer and dry a load of clothes. If it drys in normal time, nothing is wrong with the dryer; you have to get your vent cleaned. I tell you this because we took the whole dryer apart and tested all the other possible problems before we tried this. I wish we had tried this first.
