GE DPSR475EW0WW dryer heats up but clothes don't seem to dry

**AJWatUC** · September 21st, 2006, 09:03 PM

What could it be? It turns on and runs forever trying to dry the clothes. I bought this dryer used off ebay, It seemed to work fine but thinking back I don't think it did. I read that this dryer has two heater elements so the dryer heats up but takes forever to dry clothes. If It needs a new heater element can you tell me the best place to go to get one, also how to put it on. I am pretty handy but never worked on a dryer before. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

First pull your dryer away from the wall, then take off the exhaust hose and run a load, if no improvement, then its likely one of your heaters is bad. You would have to then unplug the dryer then take it apart.
This link will help you do that:

Here is the new element for your model:
