Have to keep restarting Kenmore stackable dryer before clothes are dry. No problem with the washer though.
Not only clean out your lint filter the regular way but you should check to see that it is not actually blocked even though it doesn't appear to be to the naked eye.
People have posted online elsewhere that if you use dryer sheets (like Bounce), a solid film can accumulate on your lint filter screen that you won't notice with a casual glance. This film will cut air flow to your dryer's vent tremendously and can cause problems, the least of which is clothes that won't dry and the worst being resulting in a fire situation.
The test is to take your lint filter over to your sink and try running some water through it. If the water flows through just fine, then your filter isn't clogged. If it doesn't, you need to wash and scrub that invisible film away with a brush and some dishwashing liquid or something like Clorox Clean-up. Then check again to see if water will flow through the newly-scrubbed filter without problems.
It's also advisable to let the lint filter screen dry thoroughly before replacing it in the dryer and drying a load to prevent additional caked-on lint problems.
If dryer softening sheets are used (such as Bounce) then the dryer filter must be periodically washed. Dryer sheets form a solid film over the mesh filter preventing air flow. Try running water over the filter and if the water does not penetrate, wash with a brush and a cleaning liquid (Clorox Clean-up) until water flows freely through the filter.
