A dryer that takes two cycles in a basement laundry is usually short of airflow: a crushed foil duct behind the machine, a clogged exterior flap or lint in a long run to the outside. Many dryers here run on natural gas, and we check the burner and igniter as well when the airflow is fine.
Many older kitchens had a dishwasher added later, so the drain and supply connections are worth checking along with the machine.

Vent runs and hookups in Philadelphia homes
In a typical older rowhouse the dryer sits in the basement and vents out through a basement window panel or a hole in the rear wall. Those runs are often short and straight, which is ideal, but basement vents get crushed behind machines, lose their hoods to weather, or sit near grade where leaves and snow block them. Look at the outside hood while the dryer runs; you should feel strong airflow and see the flap open.
New-construction homes with second-floor laundry closets often run the vent a long way, through floor joists or up to the roof. Long runs with several elbows collect lint quickly and are a common reason a newer dryer seems to dry poorly. Vents should be rigid or semi-rigid metal; plastic or foil accordion duct does not belong behind a dryer.
Gas dryers are common in Philadelphia, served by PGW. If you ever smell gas near the dryer, leave the house, do not operate switches, and call PGW or 911 from outside. For electric dryers in older homes, the outlet may be an older three-prong 240-volt type, which can be fine but must match the cord on the dryer; a mismatch is a job for an electrician rather than an adapter. Damp, humid basements also slow drying, since the air going in is already moist.
