The GTD40 is a straightforward vented electric dryer, and the same rule governs it as the rest of the line: airflow first. A dryer that gets hot but dries slowly is telling you the moist air has nowhere to go.
Owners can clean the lint filter every load, vacuum the housing, and check the duct behind the machine is not crushed against the wall. Element, fuse and thermostat replacement is technician work with the dryer unplugged, and the underlying airflow fault must be corrected at the same time.
