Crushed vent hose behind a dryer is one of the most common airflow faults, especially where the dryer sits tight against a wall. A rigid or semi-rigid elbow keeps the duct open and improves dry times immediately.
Frequent burner cycling on low heat is normal, since low settings hold a lower drum temperature. Combined with long dry times it points back to airflow. Work behind the dryer starts with the gas supply off and the dryer unplugged.
