Thanks.


Is the air coming out of the exhaust coming out as warm as you may
remember it to be?

If not, I'd bet that there's a problem with the heating element(s),
which may crequire their replacement.

As far as dryers being simple to get into, they're simpler than a locked
bank vault, but your success at repairing one depends on your knowledge
of the workings of electrical apparatus and your skill level.
