Default Dryer not drying

I have a gas dryer that's only about 9 months old but takes forever to dry. If I use the automatic sensor settings it always turns off too early while clothes are very damp, so I set it on the manual timer. A regular load of couple of sheets, towels and pillowcases, plus a few t-shirts and nightgowns takes 110 minutes to dry on the highest heat setting. That doesn't seem right.

All I know to check is the lint trap, which I clean after every use. Is there anything else easy/obvious I should look at before I call for a repair?

Thanks.
