i just get back from friggin nj and am trying to purify our laundry. the drier was working fine but it sounded approaching it got adjectives balled up inside so i opened the door to separate everything and when i closed the door and hit start again it didn't work. i know nil about driers at adjectives. i tried the circuit breaker and unplugging it and running it in many cycles but that's about adjectives i can figure to do. should i newly by a new drier? ours seem pretty old ... come with the house and the previous owners have 4 kids. should i just replace the washer too if i do the drier. it works fine but i guess a up to date one would be nice.
Answers:    Although there are some things you could look for to try to receive it going again, it sounds like you wouldn't mind a different laundry pair. I'd bestow myself a late Xmas present if I be you. Remember the more bells and whistles you return with on the machines, the harder and more expensive they are to repair.
Pull the plug - open the front panel and blow it out - i bet some lint get caught up surrounded by the switch.
