I see you have the plastic vent. My sister had the same complaint and when I checked, the vent hose was nearly blocked! Yank it out and replace it with rigid aluminum 4” pipe. Also, pull the back off and vacuum out any lint. Should solve the problem. |

You might want to look at the back of the drum and check to see if there is a gap between the drum and the bulkhead. You might need new rollers and maybe a drum seal. Also check the assembly at the front of the drum to make sure the Delrin ring and seal assembly is still good. |
