    I am having the same problem with my LG TROMM dryer. Have you received any information on what might be the cause yet?

    We are also having this same problem with our LG TROMM Dryer. It is taking 3 times the amount of time to dry a load of clothes. I have cleaned and vaccumed the lint trap area also. Any other suggestions we could try?

    we are having the same problem. I had a repair man in from Sears and he ran diagnostics and told me there was nothing wrong with it, but it is not drying my clothes and today doesn't seem to be heating.

    Same here. It is now taking close to 3 hours to try a normal size load of towels. The dryer worked great up until now. Any help would be appreciated.

    Ours was still under warranty and we were able to get it repaired at no charge. Apparently, the reason it was not heating the clothes is because the gas line (internal to the dryer) had gotten out of alignment with the igniter and burnt out the coil, therefore no heat. (hopefully I'm explaining that correctly) They re-aligned the gas line and the igniter and it has worked fine since. Hope that helps...

    Sometimes the heat comes on and then sometimes it doesn't. I've had a repairman come out but they "can't" do anything unless they can catch my dryer when it's not drying.
    A big waste of time for me.
