She said it's $32 for the coils which go bad pretty often and $27 for
the Cycling Thermostat, which almost *never* goes bad. She said if it
was her money, she bet the extra $5 to replace the most likely cause.

They go bad all the time, and are a five to ten dollar part. There are two
to three (sometimes more) thermostats in a dryer. It's easy enough to
remove them (one at a time, label the wires, after unplugging the unit, et
cetera), hook them up to a VOM, then dunk them in hot water to check for a
state change. Take you maybe 15 minutes, and will give you actual
information that you can use, instead of throwing parts at it.
