I had this issue all the time when I was living with my father still. Have you checked the lint filter? Static could possibly make the clothes difficult to dry. Also, you should check to see how clean the vent into the dryer itself is! If this is clogged, it can't do it's job. One last thing: talk to a professional. If it is a newer model, then you should definately talk to an expert at the place where you were sold the dryer, or, if that's not available go to a home improvement store such as The Home Depot that retails dryers and such appliances. If it's an older model, you should still do that, but there may be the strong possibility that the appliance has just run its course (I remember the way my dad solved the low heat issue: he bought a new one!), in which case you should clearly replace it. And if none of the above helps for a newer model, then if it's still under warranty, you should take it in for a refund and get a like or better model. It may just have been a dud. (I know that's one heck of an expensive dud, but it DOES happen!)

pass at the back of your dryer and vaccuum or sweep to get each and every of the lint and dirt debris. it might desire to be entering into the tubing it is linked to the wall. Our dryer does the comparable ingredient. additionally the clear out or heating instruments. you additionally can set up a clothesline exterior and dry your clothing on sturdy days (aka no longer raining, no longer relatively helpful in case you reside interior the united kingdom). It saves on potential expenses and is extra useful for the garments. Dries them speedier, as nicely.

Get a repair man, the voltages in a dryer make it way to dangerous for you. The fuse for the heating element, or the element itself is probably fried. If it's just the fuse or a relay or something, it shouldn't cost that much.
edit: turn it on and then open it and look in the back to see if the element is hot behind the bin.

Your dryer vent could be plugged or you might have a fualty heating element or you can double check you setting
Christina makes a good point as well. Thats if you have a dryer that doesnt have a safety switch attached to your drive.

I can be a number of things. The first to check is that the vent is not clogged. Go to the point that the air exits - if possible - and feel if significant air is coming out. Also feel if the air is warm or hot. If lots of air flow and air is cool then you may have a problem with the heating element. Usually though it is the vent being clogged.

it needs a new heating element
write down the model # and what brand and call around and find an appliance repair / parts shop and you can replace it yourself or have someone come and do it for you
probably cost about 60 dollars to have it done for you

Can you tell if the air is being heated - if not you will need to get the heating element repaired. If it is working, check the lint trap and make sure that it is clean.

Check the filter. you may not be getting proper air flow. also check and see if the clothes are hot when the cycle is over. if not, it may be your heating element. I hope its the filter, thats alot cheaper to fix.
