Do-It-Yourself Story

I decided to replace the Heater Assembly and Thermistor since I didn't want to disassemble and re-assemble the dryer several times trying to figure out exactly which part was an issue. For $172 I replaced all the parts that deal with heat. Was most likely the Heater Assembly. It was full of dryer lint/dust. Amazing to me how much lint and dust gets inside the cavity of the dryer and how in the world it's never caught fire is a miracle. I took the time to clean every part that was removed especially the lint filter area. It had a LOT of lint trapped down below the actual lint filter. Vacuumed out the entire dryer cabinet. Runs like new again. Be sure to search YouTube thoroughly for videos on how to do this repair.
