[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1336050, member: 229"] I'm no expert, but I've done the shade-tree online appliance stuff (mostly use [url]http://www.repairclinic.com/[/url] and a few other sites) for two dryers and my central heat and air a few times (different problems - was able to fix all of them relatively easily). Sounds like you're on the right track, but I wouldn't necessarily replace anything more than the two termostats in the heater tube (should be pretty cheap and easy enough - if one tests good, but goes bad in the next month or so, you'd have saved yourself the trouble of tearing the dryer down again later). I'd almost say if it was easy enough/cheap enough to do the exhaust tube thermo as well, but I've never had a model that required me to mess with that - so I don't know if you need to or not. Make sure to pull the lent trap off of the back of the dryer and vacuum it out really well to make sure that all of that crap is out and out of the inside of the dryer leading up to the lent tube and in the actual tube as far as you can get to. That crap causes heat build-up like you wouldn't believe. There's a pretty good place up in Tulsa that has almost all the parts you need - I think its A1 Appliance, but I can't remember.
