Today, after writing, I realized that the laundry I had in the dryer, had failed to dry and had made ungodly noises in its failure.
I was so aggravated that I grabbed my Leatherman tool (love them, am a fan..not connected to them except as a loyal customer, blah blah blah), and dismantled the dryer.
Fortunately, there really weren't that many parts that weren't..unitized? Not sure of the technical term, but, the parts were really very distinct, one from another, despite the arrangement of said parts that had the guts of this dryer looking like a basket case British car restoration project.
Anyway, I found the reset button for the heat part of the dryer, straightaway. Pressed it. Voila I had heat. Yahoo.
Next, I took on the noise issue. Working on a dryer with most of its parts in situ is a pain in the ass. I say this in all honestly because I just did it.
I don't know how the manufacturer suggests the internal parts to their dryers be lubricated, but, I have to admit..I had pretty good luck with dimethicone drizzled down the back of a butter knife.
Only then did I put the dryer back together. Took me 5 minutes--with no leftover parts!
..and I have dry clothes and an almost squeak free dryer.
Am I good or what?
Until next time..peace!! :)
