Yeah. I saw that. That’s why I was hoping for an easier solution to try first.
Also, anyone know whether a home inspector would open up my dryer? I had an inspector in yesterday. The dryer worked in the morning. Didn’t work in the evening after the guy left.

Running it empty can overheat it.

So I took my dryer apart and replaced the thermister and the thermostat. Still no heat. But I got it all back together with only 4 extra screws!
Why I didn't get a replacement for the hi-limit thermostat, I don't know.
So -- should I try replacing the hi-limit thermostat, or just bite the bullet and call a repairman?
Also, I couldn't get the back panel off, even with all the screws out. It seemed like the panel was stuck to the side panel. I could pry it apart, but that would leave a lot of bent metal.
Any ideas on that?
Thanks in advance for the help.
