How Whirlpool Dryers Are Built
Whirlpool says many dryers perform best with a total equivalent vent length under 35 feet of rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, with each 90-degree elbow adding resistance. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Dryer is not Drying or Experiencing Long Dry Times

What Whirlpool Says to Check First

What Hereford Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Hereford come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, ยง1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
