The first thing to check is the dryer chamber filter.

This is far more difficult to access than the pump filter.

It is at the very back of the dryer chamber. The whole of the dryer assembly needs to be removed, stripped and cleaned. If it does have the small meshed filter at the back then removing the mesh part completely and discarding it is often the best option.

Having said that, if the filter is clogged it usually throws up error messages or trips the dryer TOC.

dryer chamber was fairly clean but the mesh filter was clogged seems to be drying better now,on the same machine what would cause it to vibrate severely during spin cycle.i first thought it was out of balance but it does it on every load.i noticed it puckers the door seal also,ive checked the dampers they seem fine
