I dont think there IS a vent outside. the vent goes down into the floor and I think thats it. The laundry room floor gets warm when the dryer is on... | ||

Venting
It sounds like that dryer has an exhaust venting problem. If the household uses fabric softener, exhaust vent buildup is much worse as the lint is sticky from the FS. In my opinion, a dryer is a dryer. If it takes a long time, there are only four suspects. 1) clothes are too wet from the washer, 2)dryer overloading, 3) dryer air flow is restricted, 4) heat source is failing.
Air flow is usually the culprit. Malcolm | ||

I think these machines are designed for washing small loads as needed between trips to the coin op laundry. We had a GE set and they were the worst machines I have ever used! | ||

I have to disagree. If OP is referring to the large unit I have none of those problems. I've installed these in two houses and have been pleased. However, mine have always been Kenmore TOL. I believe the units are the same with the exception of the ag. | ||

I installed one of these full size units for my MIL, gas dryer, it is a Kenmore, works pretty good, been 8 years so far and no problems, washes nicely and dries in record time equal to the washer, the washer did need the water level bumped up, full selection gave a 3/4 tub of water, the indexing tub with the dual action agitator handles the loads with no effort, I can't complain, although I would have like to have a porcelain tub instead of plastic, the controls at eye level are nice and many cycles and options to choose from, and the slide out hanger rack is a help....she also has the Whirlpool full size ThinTwin in the basement, just as nice and efficient....the raised dryer is really nice for seniors where they don't have to bend over to unload, also no clothes dropped on the floor when transferring from machine to machine.....dry times for hers may be shorter because their both gas units and/or the duct run is less than a foot straight out the back wall...

More venting.
If the vent just goes into the floor, it's a seriously bad situation. The lint buildup in the joist cavity is a fire hazard and also a mold and mildew magnet. Unless they're designed to be vented indoors (like a Frigidaire Filtrator or a condenser dryer), dryers become serious health and safety hazards if not vented outdoors.
