Default Clothes dryer: repair or replace?

it appears all new appliances are made on the super cheap, with beancounters running design.
the fancy electronic controls are not only pricey to replace but unreliable.

If you can DIY repair you existing dryer your probably better off.

take the dryer apart and vacuumn and blow it all out with a air hose....

look for low spots in the vent line, a low spot can accumulate condensation water and block air flow.

my vent poipe is pretty long and accumulates lint that forms into pads that block te venting.

now that the weater is better I am going to pull it all down and either relace it or wash it out with a garden hose
