Dryer used to take 50-some minutes to dry a normal load at the max drying temp ("normal"). Now it says 84 minutes before it starts and it's pretty accurate. that's how long it actually takes. I thought it was the gas valve coils so I replaced them, but no improvement. The burner cycles on and off, don't know if it does correctly. It does get warm/hot inside, I don't know if it's the correct temp or not. No exhaust obstruction or anything else abnormal that I can tell. Any suggestions?
Oh, and just wondering. How does it know before it starts how long it's going to take? Does it just start with a standard preset number and then adjusts as it senses moisture inside? Seems awfully accurate for an initial guess.
Edit: sorry, the age is incorrect. Can't edit that. It's probably 10 years old.
