You stated that dryer still works. Here I will assume that under that you also mean that it is heating the clothes and not just spinning.
First check for blockage in the tube that comes into the drawer. You will have to get the lid off the dryer. I also had the same problem. There was lint buildup that blocked the pipe. Try pulling the pipe off and blowing into it. If it is blocked try to find where and unplug it. If it is not blocked check if it is in good condition and not worn by rubbing against the drum. Check if it is corectly pluged into the pump. If all is ok check the pump. There could really be no other fault.
The condencer is nothing but layers of sheets of metal and it cant fail. It can only get drty. Dirt acts as insulator, making the heat exchange dificult and with that increasing the drying time dramaticaly. Same goes for the filters since dirty filters reduce the airflow.
