decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying
time in a cycle.

Lint screen is clogged with lint.
Clean lint screen before each load.
Stains on load
Improper use of fabric softener.
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.

items like blue jeans inside-out to avoid transfer of dye to drum.
