Some Updates:
Last night I removed the access panel, and vaccumed
everything, and I mean
everything. It was pretty dusty in there. I removed the lint
screen and
vaccumed, and moved the dryer out and vaccumed the vent
opening, vent hose, and
inlet into the vet pipe. I left the access panel off and turned
the dryer on,
no clothes, on 'auto-less-dry' cycle.
The heater element glows RED for about three minutes, then I
hear a click and
the element dims off. Then the timer moves towards 'cool down',
and ten minutes
later the dryer is off.
I put a large load of towels in today, and the dryer ran 2
hours and 20 minutes
on 'auto fabric, less dry' cycle. The heater element would glow
RED for three
minutes, then 'click' off for several minutes, then repeat. The
heater is NEVER
on for longer then 3 minutes?
I want to keep this dryer because it has stainless steel drums.
BTW, how do you
replace the belt? That looks like you need some tricks.
Thanks for any help!

If cleaning the vent doesn't solve the problem, try blowing out
all the air passages with an air compressor or leaf blower. Do
this outside. Blow in the vent, in the dust collector hole, in
the air holes at the back of the drum (inside), until you quit
getting crud out. I've completely restored non-working dryers
this way.
