Why is my clothes dryer not drying so well?

My electric clothes dryer is warming up but my clothes haven't gotten dry enough and the dryer has been going for 2 hours now.

The clothes aren't wet but they're still damp and not completely dry?

Take your dryer vent hose off and check for lint build up in the vent of the dryer and in the outside dryer vent.

I had that problem and after cleaning all that lint out the dryer could breath much better and it started drying the clothes better.

Also make sure the lint filter is clean as well.
